regular old m60 swap

Why the brake pressure attenuator? Can you not use the bias adjuster on the wilwood pedals?



No rubber disk thingie, is this for exhaust manifold clearance or another reason? Is there a benefit to removing the flex disc that came on the E30?



Why modify the pan? Sorry for the noob question, but I thought the motor fits without needing to modify the pan.

Not sure what you mean.. The new shaft is pretty much a necessity there's probably a half inch or so of space between the manifold and steering shaft. Answered the oil pan question previously, and it has been covered in multiple threads.

Made a new steering shaft today as well.

duct tape is currently holding it together for mock up purposes only. Shits pretty sturdy tho.....

Water pump and thermostat mounted. Need to take a BFH to my firewall to fit my rear coolant pipe.


injectors came back from being rebuilt!

So glad I decided to do this because two of my injectors were dead. Nothing better than putting in all this work swapping in a v8 for only 6 cylinders to fire, HA! Highly recommend MEPEH, great customer service and he gave me a killer deal on some good injectors

Compression numbers good across the board!

if i had more time, i would go to my local pick n pull and grab some oil lines from one of the seven e38s there and send it to you.

hahaha holy shit! no worries man, i appreciate it though!

[dothadance]

my suspicions are correct! can just make brackets to move the filter housing over http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...&postcount=136

havent even tried yet. should have grabbed some e38 oil lines, as i think they are a little longer, so i wouldve had some more play room. no way am i driving all the way back to san antonio though.

Also saw this toasted bay right through the valve cover.

Took my dad's car for a leisurely drive down to San Antonio on Monday.

Both vc's the coolant tube, icv, x20, and an alternator! So glad that 3 hour round trip was worth it.

Would you happen to still have those measurements? I don't have a Trans yet but I'm trying to get everything ready for the swap before I start so I can have my car back up and running asap. If u have them that would be great.

I dropped the engine/trans in and bolted in the trans and d/s. Then jacked up the engine into place. Took a couple side to side measurements to make sure she was square. Not particularly hard, just time consuming... but time I have..
