having an issue getting my S5D 310Z up into my M60 E30

[2.5-12]

That transmission looks like it is really far back in the tunnel. Is that a photo trick?

trans isn't in there -- thats showing the tunnel as it is.

I'm on the forward motor mount position. I will have to rip out the engine and massage the firewall I guess.

clearance is pretty good. probably 3/4". maybe more.

You have to massage in the firewall and transmission tunnel in the areas where you're touching. It's the only way if you're trying to go for the rear most engine position.

BTW, what's your clearance between the motor and subframe with those E34 540i mounts you're running?

hello all,

am in the process of jamming an M60 into my 323 euro. got the Garagistic engine mount arms, E34 540i engine mounts, subframe spacer installed. engine sits perfectly in. got my headers done and I went to try and put the trans in and both the starter ears of the trans are hitting the sides of the tunnel in my car.

how have you all gotten your 310Z 5 speed or hell even the 420G 6 speed up into the car? tricks/tips?

Thanks!
