You're not the only one planning some BMW Powered craziness....
I got a M70, that I'm planning on carborating, and building a Hotrod around a late 1936 Chevy dump truck.....

Wow!

Decided to get goofy with the headlight mounting:

[Mykk540i/6]

Yeah... it did take a turn for the nuts. But I'm building the car I wanted. Could the M62 with the Eaton M112 go in an E30, absolutely. I'm just doing things different, doing things my way.

[wworm]

woah. what the heck happened here?

it was going in an e34 and then he mentioned t bucket and a few of us were like "yeah yep do that one" and then nothing happened and then a t bucket appeared.

Gotta say this thing is getting crazier by the day and I love it

woah. what the heck happened here? I have not checked in with this thread in a while and I have to say it must have taken a turn? I was sure this engine was going into an e30. I feel like there was a bait and switch somewhere? cool project though....

Before you make an unpleasant discovery on your own... the Jaguar suspension will *NOT* EVER work without the trailing arms. Go ahead and get those in your build right now because you can't use that suspension without them.

Fully agree, thank you. The frame is made and set up for trailing arms as well as the front diff mounts and not just the 4 bolts in top of the housing.

Replaced rear main & pilot bearing. Used wet TP to push out bearing. Installed clutch & trans. Just doing the minor stuff until I can get a frame.

those are some big johnnies

[Mykk540i/6]

soooooo hows it going?

It's going okay, a slow build. Acquiring parts as finances allow.
