Shortened M42 Oil pan

[namsayin]

At that point I would just throw in an M50/S50

for you, even though its not an m42 you get the point



i drove around like that and killed the shit out of my skidplate on the one drive i had with it.

So I guess the most you can raise the engine with M42 motor mounts is like 1/4" Looks like I am gonna have to put E28 motor mounts then raise it from there.

Bump on the oil pan?

how did this turn into a 24v swap thread haha. i see one in my future im a little nervous on the wiring but how hard is it really im generally pretty good with good with wiring like it doesnt frustate/confuse me just dont wanna know what id be getting into

I tossed my old M50 in his car out of my black rat. He needs to fab an exhaust and he wanted the Ebay long tubes so they went in. OT so no worries Fred.

Why can't your throw in an M50 in for me??? Well I can pay in handjobs. Sorry, I am just a little closer with Fred.

You just swapped what in for him? A new skidplate?

Come out and bend a simple one for the kid. I just swapped one in for him.

It takes around a long weekend to do the swap. I made my own exhaust.

um, I'll help you wire it up, but for extraction and all that junk, well, have your brother help you? :D

How hard is it to take it out and put it back in? I am sure Augy would be down. Did you fab up your own exhaust?

why not just get a stronger skid plate that won't deflect into the pan? seams like a cheaper/ better solution to me...

The skid plate is already 1.5 inches off the ground. I want to shorten the oil pan to go lower. So getting a heftier skid plate would be pointless.

I did one for around $1500 including all the essential maintenance parts, with an E36 trans and a 3.25 rear end. It's possible to do it cheaper if you reuse the G240 trans, and your radiator is in good shape.

The real question is, what is your labor rate in blowjobs?

I can use the G240 trans (just might need a clutch while I am in there), and my radiator is in good shape too.
