        I used to travel around SoCal to help beginners wrench on their swaps, but I live far away from CA now.

        Someone will pop up. E30 people are great people.

          Do you already have the motor out? What specific questions do you have?

                        Congrats on the car and diving right in with an engine swap!

                        Here's the CA regional forum with a SoCal section:


                        Here's the m20 section:


                        You'll find a better response in those sections rather than trying to have a regional conversation general.
