    Small update. Picked up my new 5 speed trans last night. This should be the last trans going into the e30 forever. Lenco cs3. Also received a chevy bellhousing today. Going to see if it will fit or if i need to build something custom.

          They Chevy bellhousing fits, it will take some massaging of the tunnel but I think it won't be too bad. Just have to get another bellhousing because this one has poor sfi sticker placement...

            What do you mean by "Chevy" bellhousing?

              No one makes a Lenco bellhousing for a BMW. So I'm using a Chevy one with an adapter plate.

                  Ok.

                  I've run across a few companies that make custom bellhousings. I think Vorshlag had one made for their GRM $2010 challenge E30.

                    Yea that's not an issue there are a few companies that can build one. I need it to be a sfi certified and if thats possible im sure it would take a long time and be pretty eexpensive.

                      I'd have to go back and look at their source, but it was several hundred dollars... It was SFI cert, though. The company does it for a living, so I don't expect lead time would be unreasonable.

                      Do you already have the adapter plate?

                          Quicktime/Lakewood. Their website isn't so great, so you'll probably have to call.

                          Vorshlag used a Chevy LS1 to Ford Toploader housing. I just saw Mazda Rotary to Jerico and other wacky combinations.

                              Are you doing your own adapter or is one available?

                                BMWSOB was born with more balls than the average R3V'er!
