regular old m60 swap

[dothadance]

Which harness are you using? I have an automatic 540i harness, I'm looking for other options. Although I have though about building my own.

It's a 530ia. Wish it were manual but whatevs

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..

Where did you get your measurements to make those mounts?

Due to the shitty timing my harness is going to take 2 fucking weeks to get here! It should've taken 3-4 days. This is killing me. :(

Ah, the e38 ones don't mount to the cover. Yeah if I wasn't keeping abs that would be pretty perfect.

change over to the 740il oil filter housing. thats what im running... oh but your keeping the ABS..... out with the ABS you dont need it anyway..

What's the difference between the two?

seems like the stock e30 slave line SHOULD work. gonna go ahead with that and make/find a hardline to fit from the hose to the master

[dothadance]

anybody have incite as to clutch line setup? researching right now.

also, i'm looking for the larger of the two coolant pipes that run over the valley pan. part number 11531736830, if any of you have one i'd gladly take it off your hands. it seems the m62 pipe has a different part number, does anybody know if theres any actual difference?

[dothadance]

Can you mount the oil filter housing above the ABS pump?

that's a good question, not really sure how much room there is over there. i plan to just use my left over metal from my motor mounts and make some sort of bracket to just "slide" the filter 3 or so inches towards the drivers side.

The fit with the m60?

well i made the arms specifically for them lol. i spent $10 on the metal and i already had the m20 mounts vs. $225 for garagistics mounts + another $120 for revshifts solid mounts (not knocking their product i just dont have that kind of money haha). now obviously i wouldn't have to buy the solid revshift mounts, but i still saved quite a bit of money.
