    Great progress so far. Do the headers you ordered allow room for the AC compressor?

      It looks like they will, the first runner goes straight back. They won't fit with the 328 engine arms so I won't know for sure until I get the Z4 arms. Been waiting on them for almost 2 months. I will get a photo of the headers mocked up when the arms arrive.

        Finally got a chance to test fit the engine. It went in easier than the M20 came out. I'm sure it will be much more difficult with all the accessories attached. Test fit the hood, the oil filter lid hits the hood insulation, so that will require some trimming. I'm using the revshift 24v mounts, not sure how they compare to others. Other mounts may get the engine a little lower but then I will have issues with the exhaust I chose hitting the sway bar, details on that in the dedicated exhaust thread.

        Next step is to measure for a driveshaft and get the headers sorted, then pull the engine and get the bay cleaned up and fix a few rust spots.
