[JMil86]

Running?

[coolasacuc]

BALLIN!!
best swap for the E30!
if you dont mind me asking, what did you pay for the motor? and yes the trans will work

[RickSloan]

the trans will work, same bell housing as s14, m10, m30, etc

[bmwss91]

never tried a m30 trans but i think it does because the blocks are similar.I got my whole drivetrain complete.The m20 trans mount bracket bolted up perfect.

[bmwss91]

not sure about brakes yet

[LowR3V'in]

Does the s38 bolt onto the m30 tranny?
If it does, does it also use the same mounting points as the b35? or 34?

[BDK]

what are you doing for brakes, converting to E28 style MC?

[Doughnut]

This is awesome!

More pictures are required please!

[bmwss91]

radiator is going to be custom and will be mounted where the a/c condensor sits,but i am looking for a standalone so might be removing the distrbutor and going with 6 coils but got to see how my funds are.Will be removing the head to go with a thicker head gasket.The engine already has motorsport cam gears and ecu chip.It was going to be just a engine swap but saw bembub turbo s38 and said that is a bad ass ride

[JoeMadoo]

i want one

[RickSloan]

very awesome, and way to come out of nowhere with a crazy build!

but seriously, are you going to tuck a custom rad under the rad support? your so far forward...

i was going to knock the firewall back to move the engine back,but in this position its easier to work on the motor and if i had to pull the trans i can get to the upper bolts easier,but your right most people do set the motor further back.

where are you going to mount the radiator?

Best e30 swap. period :)

This. It just looks so great in there. Like it was always meant to be. Subscribed.

i live on long island.Should have the 304 steel pipe this week to start the manifold,this is going to be my first turbo manifold so it should be intersting.I have had a turbo m42 and stroker m20 turbo,but this should be the baddest.
