THanks!
I'm looking into doing that, trying to figure out all the problems I'll run into
So far, seems like the cranck sensor needs placed on the front pulley and replacement of the thermostat and water pump.
Good luck with your build, Il'l keep my eye on the progress344is! Obd1 conversion

do you plan on BAR'ing your car? also do you think that instead of making some engine mounts would these mounts be better? http://66.163.168.225/babelfish/tran...p5%2ftyp5.html
Oh yeah and im from Sacramento also what area do you stay? ill be looking forward to seeing this car on the road!

Yeah, I'll have to BAR it again... since I've gone through the process already it's not that bad.
I've seen those mounts as well, might be able to get something locally first otherwise I'll look more into those..Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

Nice Jean! I would've chosen an OBD1 M62b44 personally, but the m60 will be MUCH more fun then your m30! :DCheck out Undr8d Empire on Facebook: www.facebook.com/Undr8dEmpireLlc

from moroza on bfc - "you can swap M60 timing covers and gear if you do one of the following bits of custom fabrication: spacers for M60 cams to fit onto M62 heads, or M62-bore headgaskets to mount M60B40 heads onto the M62 block. Otherwise, no."

Well, I don't know if vanos is worth the trouble on the m62.. When I was troubleshooting it on the e39 and disconnected it, car felt just as quick in the mid to high rpm range and was only slightly noticable in the low rpm range. So, to me non vanos v8 is fine.
George - yep, some dyno as much as 270whp... I haven't looked at what options are out there yet in terms of bigger pistons etc. I really don't want to drop 5k into the motor or anything like that, just a nice clean re-fresh/reseal and call it good you know.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205
