M30b35 swap into 1990 vert *NOW WITH LIFE!!*

[F34R]

Cut the 90 degree lip off with a grinder and weld on a plate that is extended to reach the bolts. If your car was an auto that is the lineup issue, I had the same problem with mine, I just cut open the holes and welded two plates on and bolted it up! Not a single problem.

[Mr. Burns]

It's been 3 days solid that I've been wrestling with my driveshaft in efforts to get it in.
I thought my csb was on backwards, so I flipped it. And it's STILL not fitting properly.
I've hit a bit of a bump jn the road.
So I'm bitting the bullet and towing it to a reputable e30 shop that will sort it.
I'm behind schedule now ffs.

I've tried and tried and I can't get the csb to line up with the body holes, and can't slip the guibo on the pin...can't even clear the tranny support.

:grin:

[Mr. Burns]

Ill be updating with pics as u I progress

[quickervicar]

I'd love to see a pic or three when you're done. I'm leaning toward these for my swap

[Mr. Burns]

they're GONNA.

might have to put a dimple in one of the bottom tubes to clear the actual bolt where my engine mount sits.

I've talked to couple guys running e30M30's and 1 with Garagistic (copy) mounts and they made them fit.

so I will too.

[quickervicar]

Do they fit?

[CorvallisBMW]

Damn those look tits

[Mr. Burns]

Some parts came in...

Ceramic coated Ireland Engineering m30b35 headers :)

[Mr. Burns]

Shift linkage is go:) thanks again Brian!

[Mr. Burns]

I really should put some wheels under there while I'm crawling around...I usually do...

[Bearmw]

That's how my verts looked for the last year and a half. Today I finally got it back on all four tires today. Nothing like a big six vert on a warm summer night.

[SubDad]

I don't know about the bike itself, but that kickstand is a classic piece. Those and my Gramma's toaster, they made the same sound. And you have more perfect lawn in the picture than I have on my entire lot.

Now, ahem, E30-ville and your pictures: Just because I'm paranoid, I always sling a wheel or two under a car on jackstands so that if it falls off the stands it has something to land on other than my breathing apparatus. I generally use the spare to lighten the load, and I have somebody check on me periodically too.

May the shift linkage treat you kindly,

Signed, Concerned of Nepean
