    unfortunately my welding skills aren't quite up to par with yours, otherwise i'd consider it

    it could still be made to work with shortening each header runner from the head flange by about 3/4", not sure if i wanna go through all that effort though as i'd also probably have to rock a cowl hood too

    maybe i'll just stick with the 302 block / 5.3LS idea

    goddamnit... so they're basically the same (i measured the width of the radiator, seemed to pretty much line up with the rails)

    E30 engine bay width?

    Sup bros, just wanted to know if someone could do me a solid and measure their engine bay width for me. I know I measured mine a while ago, but I can't find the paper I wrote it down on.

    I'm thinking about doing an... unconventional engine swap to the e36 I just bought. Its engine bay width is roughly 26.5" and I know how much clearance I need based off of the size of the 302 in my e30's engine bay

    Just let me know, thanks ahead of time
Working...
