      You're E30 looks great!

      What are you're plans exactly for your swap? (Drivetrain, Brakes,Ground control etc.)

      Goodluck

        Looking good, saw your post on facebook. Curious as to what you do for braking and transmisson. Good luck!

          Thanks! I'll be using the five speed and I haven't decided on brakes yet.. A full wilwood booster less setup is like $500..I don't really know how to weld for a booster relocation so we'll see.

          Got the engine in my garage and pulled the valve covers off. Wasn't too dirty under there


          I had a small scare when I pulled the spark plugs out and one had a bunch of water on it but it was just water sitting down in the well

              Are you doing a full tear down of the engine, or just basic stuff?

                Just a basic tune up and gaskets

                Took the valve covers to my highschool autoshop today and cleaned/wire wheeled them best I could for paint

                    Good to hear from you! I will definitely be PMing you as I have lots of questions about plumbing and brakes/I'm sure I will run into trouble..

                      Tonight I started taking things apart.

                      Not the cleanest in there..

                      I will need to find a new wiring harness because when I was pulling this engine I got a little frustrated and just cut the old one

                        I might have a spare wiring harness. Also if you are looking for a remote booster setup, I have an entire setup with some odds and ends spares (rods, brackets etc) that I'd let go for about $250 shipped.

                          Hit me up if you find a spare harness. I'll probably get the brake setup from my donor car if I don't get a wilwood setup

                            Which harness are you looking for specifically? I have a couple here...
