    Things I need to do:

    Find someone making the M50 TPS adpator
    Buy a M50 TPS
    Elec fan
    Wheels-Need some good looking wheels. I got a great deal on some Style 197's but they just look too big...so far the style 32's are highest on the list, but I'm still looking.
    Figure out what swaybars to run

            Awesome! This is exactly what I'm looking to do.

            1. Are you running a stock bottom end?

            2. Is ms the simplest way to go?

            3. What did that head cost you, and what did the dual pattern cam cost you?

            Car looks great too. I'm not a huge fan of bronzit usually, but I think it looks pretty damn good on a clean 325is!
            Want shirts, stickers, or any other custom screen-printed or digitally printed apparel and posters?

              1. It appears he is. M20 stock bottom end is good for about 400-450 hp.
              2. MS is the best option IMO to get the most out of your car and tune it easier.
              3. A nice 885 with cam,valves,rockers is about 800-1.2k depending on mileage/etc.

              OP I like where you're taking this car very clean and done right the first time!

                Thanks...I wasnt a big fan of the color but its grown on me and was very clean for the money. Speed racer is correct on the prices and power goals. The cam goes for around 250-300 depending on where you get it.

                  Update: Got the head installed and hung the manifold on the head.

                  Question: When you guys ran the remote filter setup did you keep the cooler or did you(can you) rotate the filter housing around to clear the manifold????

                    You can rotate the housing around.
                    If you run a remote setup, the cooler's lines will now come out of the remote spot.

                    I have ran both setups successfully. Remote is more friendly.

                          Well here's mine. Some people mount it up in the engine bay but that gets messy when changing the filter.
                          I'm also running my oil senders off the remote with a sandwich plate in between.
                          Also, I was mistaken. The cooler's lines will run from the from the original spot (as the case for me) though I'm sure it doesn't have to be that way
