Fitment issues like crazy...had to cut the heater core hose connectors off for the motor to sit all the way back

Got the wiring harness in yesterday finally after sikky sending me the wrong harness 2 times. What a cluster fu*k of wires with only half of them labled

Me and a buddy of mine are in the process of building his 1988 bmw 325ic. It's kind of a slow build but i will update whenever i can with it. The motor is a 6.0 LQ9 out of a Cadillac escalade. We changed the cam and put a mild one in it. Not much else done to it besides all the bolt on things from the swap kit. The kit is from sikky with the usual headers, mounts, drive shaft and odds and ends. Front sump oil pan and wiring harness.

The day we pulled the motor out [ATTACH]97339[/ATTACH]

The kit he ordered from sikky [ATTACH]97340[/ATTACH]

Painted the motor, put the intake on and bolted up the headers for a quick pic[ATTACH]97341[/ATTACH]

Decided to sand everything down, remove unwanted brackets and useless odds and ends and paint the bay[ATTACH]97342[/ATTACH]

Got the cam in so started tearing it apart to install it [ATTACH]97343[/ATTACH]

Got the new cam installed, underdrive pulley and mounts

Test fitting the motor

Another shot of the test fitting process...sick pic!!

Had to put the car on rollers to get it onto the lift

Got the car up in the air installing the drive shaft and rear spacers...and yes you do see 2 racks attached lol
