M30 5spd

[Pinepig]

Lookin good, I spy a flathead V8 in the back.

Good eye, pulled that out of the 47 Ford 2 door biz coupe and dropped a 327 hi-comp Corvette motor in it.;)


Man that one came out perfect, I wasn't even looking, I just saw you had the camera in hand while I was talking to Cam.

So, the long block is done. I dropped off the last few dirty items (alternator/ps brackets/tb etc) to get hot tanked and should have it all done next weekend.

Joe - with the b35 mounts do I not use the lower bracket for the intake manifold? There is no clearance for it. Or am I supposed to move the bracket to the left like an oem bracket?









can someone tell me what I am missing here?



I realized that I probably ordered a wrong temp sensor (e34 instead of e30)... doh.

[Good & Tight]

Remove the intake bracket.
Bolts on like this.

Is it going in soon?

[Pinepig]

Is it going in soon?

God I hope so, I'm sick and tired of walking around all those god damn parts, If I stub my toe on that fucking tranny again I'm going to turn it into powder with a sledge hammer.:hitler::firehop:























:p;)

thats what she said.

Jean, this build is looking top notch. Can't wait to see the results

[Jean]

Thanks! I want it to give me no issues when it comes to getting a sticker from BAR Smog place.

[416stroker]

Fuck Bar lol. An M30 should be super easy to get it passed there's nothing to them.

Sounds like you better get on it before the tranny gets turned into dust.

Not when you are going from a 4cyl to a 6cyl chassis. If I was dropping this into my 89 325i shell that would be another story I think.

That shouldn't matter if you did it all legit unless the guys a D-Bag. Just make sure you get a good cat.

What are you plans for exaust?

[Jean]

Yeah, i guess it's a hit or miss with those guys. I'll make sure to bring doughnuts if the appointment is in the AM lol.

I am going to buy a new magnaflow cat, I guess cat law changed in cali and you have to buy a specific cat for it to be legal. I am looking at about $350 for a cat.

No idea, we'll come up with something. I don't want it to be too loud but somehow nice and throaty.

[416stroker]

Hmm I wonder if my cats ok? I just have a walker high flow its 50state on none obd2 cars. But then again its not ceramic packed.

Do a magnaflow turbo mufler that shouldn't be to bad.

[Jean]

Last couple engine parts after getting hot tanked, ready to be installed.

tb



cps bracket



alt/ps/compressor brackets

[Jean]

Alternator , a/c compressor and power steering pump brackets have been installed. I guess the studs on the intake manifold from an EML equipped car are longer than the one with a standard throttle body.





I need to reference my previous photos to figure out how this bracket installs



Notice how long the studs are
