my first m30 swap

[ilovemybmw]

Yo what up I'm Reshard and I'm doing my first m30 swap. And I'm new to the forum and just need some advice on some things. Now I have been doing a lot of reading about the swap. Now where can I find some good motor mounts for my swap.I know that I can use any transmission from the 5,6 or 7 series but which would be the best choice. I got motor from the local salvage yard for 185$ with the complete wire harness.I to clean the motor up a lot what would be the best choice of degreaser to clean. I do have some heavy duty degreaser. I still getting all the parts for the swap. I'm having my first kid so I want to take my time with this swap so first I just give the motor a good cleaning and do a full inspection from top to bottom. Any advice on how to give a thorough cleaning will be appreciated.:)

Take stuff off, clean everything, install new gaskets/hoses. Order a top end gasket kit.

Looks like a b35, PM Otis (good & tight) here on r3v, he makes mounts.
