What's the difference between the two?

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

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. :(

Harness is in the building!!!

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.

Mounts are all welded!!!

And I just paid for a harness! Shit is coming together

Where did you get your measurements to make those mounts?

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..

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.

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.

Also saw this toasted bay right through the valve cover.
