The mounts are pretty simple to fabricate yourself also, just requires some time and patience..

Too many options, maybe I should just start a new project :D

Once I get to the point of making mounts for myself I will be replicating them, right now I am a few weeks away from that point

Thats how I got my m60b40, bought a 540i parts car, sold a couple things from it and gave the rest of the car away to the junk yard... and have basically free m60b40 and booster hardware for the swap.
If you don't have room for the car, i've seen the 5speeds going for about $500 for the v8... the 6speeds are more.

the prices are the made by the yard, I found the trans and then negotiated the price down a bit and even got the shifter linkage included

Where did you guys source your trans from? I'm scouring everywhere looking for a 5spd but am coming up with nill. My hopes are crushed with every yard run...
