So, I'll spill:
I'm building it from a M30B34. Plans are o-ring the block, B35 head, and a friend has a Cartech turbo kit ready to bolt on. I'll gradually upgrade, but I figure this is the best way for a newb in FI to get something going. Plus it'll be a DD, so I don't want something nuts.
Until then, it's just going to stay a beat old e34. No upgrades until I get it running like I want it.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

Also, 535tit lol.
I put a lot of thought into that, lol.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

Doing it all by feel. Only thing I'm going to need a hand with will be the wiring, but found all that at bmwe34.net.
Of course, I'm not doing just a manual swap.
List of parts, feel free to add to it:
M30B35 w/harness attached to G260/6 & e28 M5 FW & clutch (currently in my e28 535i)
M30 engine mount arms.
Manual trans cross brace, late style
Clutch pedal box
Driveshaft
Manual shifter assembly (have one from a M20 car, so I don't know if it'll work, but I'll try it. I can weld, or I have a few e28 ones to dick with)
Manual shifter console
Red is things I still need, but we're getting there.
I'll re-gear later, with an 3.64 LSD. For now I'll leave it 3.91 for the quickness of this swap, plus when I get the turbo motor built, I don't want to have to re-gear again.Last edited by slammin.e28; 01-03-2014, 09:54 AM.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

So Inufaye and I went to the pink n save to get a door for his e36. While there I found a RRC and nicked the shift console from it, since the gear selector band was good, and also came upon a 1991 750iL. SCORE.
Nabbed the front and rear calipers and front rotors, the rear seat heater switches w/cig lighter, and some e38 style 5s with caps in 99% perfect condition.
May sell the wheels, as I want to put my style 66s on the T. Also donno if I want to put the brakes on the T or on my e28. :/
