    Going on the other prices, they start at $1750 which is pretty good when you get a driveshaft with it too.
    Just a little project im working on

      Headers seemed a touch low and I want to say the oilpan flange holes needed to be finessed for the hardware. It has been a while since that swap though. Nothing super major, definitely wouldn't prevent me from buying from them, especially if the price was similar to the s13 stuff.

          The main thing that scared me off swapping an e30 was the brake stuff, do you have any info on the hydroboost set up they'd use?

            I saw the hydro boost unit. I forget what it was specifically. What would you like to know specifically? It's still technically in fab time so nothing is set in stone.

              Is it going to be similar to 540 ( I think? ) stuff seen in previous swaps? Same booster? Require new brake lines? Excited to see how sikky solves it.

                  I know nothing of the 540 stuff. There will be no booster. It's a hydro boost unit.

                              heh. I guess you gutted the stock fuse box to put the new brake setup in?

                                well, the whole car was gutted. i bought it as a tub. there wasnt much to save. more of a blank canvas. i re-wired the whole car. had an s54 in it for awhile. now its the v8.
