And yet another V8 swap...

[Yorl]

I built a new set of headers. I really didn't like the 540 or 740 or any other options so... time and patience!

[JGood]

Wow, that looks great! What headers are you using?

[Yorl]

Updaaates!!!

Well, I finally got some time for me, and I managed to get some work done.
I put the engine back together, all new seals, gaskets etc etc etc etc





M5 throttle bodies bolted in place, and throttle bellcrank bolted too. I just have to fabricate a couple of arms, and good to go



Headers also bolted nicely







And finally, sitting home!!









And I think I'll have to raise the suspension...

In my M60b44 I had the guides replaced and head work done but I must have gotten lucky cause they were off the car already (unknown info on car)

[Yorl]

Oh, and btw, MY HEADS ARE READY!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!

[Yorl]

How many of you doing M60 has checked the heads before dropping it in? Mine was low-ish mileage, saw the car running first (110k kms) and sent the heads out just in case. Worn, as in VERY worn exhaust valve guides, and super shitty intake and exhaust seats. Anybody else??

[Yorl]

Just for the fun of it... Had a pair here and temptation was waaay too big. Also, I was tempted by a set of high ET wheels, and the E46 front arms would have been perfect. The deal didn't work out so, back to E36

[jalopi]

Why'd you try out e46 arms? Doing a drift car?

[Yorl]

Updates! My heads are fucked, the valve guides were SHOT, so I'm having that fixed right now... And I tried the E46 front control arms, but that is just too retarded :D

[Yorl]

Nah, Sport Quattro conversion, kevlar everything, super hot 2.5l in-line 5, sequential transmission, 4-way Ohlins..... it'll be a rally car.

[The Dark Side of Will]

What's happening to it? D2 S8 4.2 V8 at 360 HP + 0B4 gearbox? :D

[Yorl]

Yeah, an original Quattro. It's not my car (I wish), it's a customer car.
I guess there's people that never use the car, so it never rusts.... it's PERFECT, 0 rust, nothing at all!! Even my M3 was worse, and it's 5 years newer

[jalopi]

Is that a quattro? (as in the model, not audi's generic term for awd)

That's cool as shit man.... where are you finding all these clean cars from the 80's? I figure Canada is the land of winter salt roads.

[Yorl]

Not much going on.... this car is gonna take forever!!! Heads aren't finished yet. Well, I don't know, I have to check with the head guy, but I am pretty sure he didn't start them.
The interior wiring harness is finished, headers are done and this weekend (maybe) I'll run new rigid brake lines. MAYBE.
I just took a couple pictures in good company, the red car's keeping me busy at work right now (and for the next few months)

I bought it from Summit, it's DEI Reflect-A-Gold. They have different sizes, but they're all adhesive. Plan what you need before buying, because it gets expensive fast!!
