Also wanted to say to y'all. Thanks for all the encouragement and help. I never would've thought this would've gotten all the attention and views as it did due to it being a Chevy in a Bmw.

Almost there, keep pushing through.

Awesome job! You have a great group of friends too! Can't think of many people that would hang around long enough to help out like that. Most just want to drive it and never help.

Woot!! Congrats on dropping it in!

[lemansguy]

dude thats awesome, congrats on getting it in! i come by and check for updates almost daily, this update felt good.

after the hard work it took to drop this thing in it was well worth it. took these pictures and went home. on the ride home, i kept shaking it was crazy. hard feeling to explain. It's getting close. The light at the end of the tunnel seems close.

Three hours of work to do this... And it's come time

Six hours of fucking with rust and we got everything taken care of. I own a rust free e30.

Went to my friends house and he has a yard full of e30s. So went through them all and got myself carpet and also a cage. Thanks to Josh for coming a long






What color to powder coat the cage....

The sticky stuff on the heat insulation needs a clean surface to adhere to. No grease, dirt, etc.

I'd recommend installing the harness after placing the engine in. Last thing you want is having a wire accidentally damaged during installation and fucking up your day trying to figure out what went wrong.

I always heard to put the harness on before dropping it in. Since there's barely any room to play with when it's dropped in

Use some small pop rivets and small fender washers in a few places to keep the insulation in place. Don't drill too deep -- put a drill stop on your drill bit.

So the insulation in the bell housing keeps falling down idk why it won't stick. Gotta find a way to make it stick

So got the power steering lines in. Already installed them to the rack. Flopped the engine mounts around thanks to Garrett.

Also I put most of the harness on. And took this picture. I'm getting a weird feeling guys. Idk if I'm nervous or what.

Like her if I turn it on and I forgot to do something when I rebuilt it? what if my bad luck follows and it doesn't run.

Bleh

But here's the picture.

Now waiting on Garret to hit me up and let me know if the mounts are really backwards now.

Oil relocation lines are on


It's getting close!!!!

Beat more of the tunnel in



Almost time to drop it in.... Guys I'm fucking stoked


Also had to get new wheels since my other ones wouldn't let me put the right tire size so I ordered these
#iRepReps lol

I'll have 245s in the rear 225/235 in front

Swap the engine mounts -- the RH and LH are on the wrong sides ;)

The holes are supposed to face backwards? Or frontwards?
