        Yep right now it runs great minus running Rich, I need to pull the Exhuast back off and Hammer the Firewall a little bit more, as the downpipes are sending a good bit of vibration into the interior. I love the pull in thrid gear out of corners, Which is exactly what I wanted. Once I sell some of the m20 parts I'll buy the remaining items to convert it to Motronic 1.3.

          DAMN... that will haul crazy ass when dialed in... looks like it took a few shoe horns and some KY to cram that thing in there... worth it

              it's a 3.73 Open Probally the Hp Difference between the Two engines, with the Lightweight Flywheel 2nd is Redlined super quick, that's another reason I went with the 3.3 as it Revs quicker then the Bigger m30 Engines.

                        Oh dear god, I have PLENTY of room compared to that. I would dread having to take the belts or timing cover off. It seems like Grants motor had more room than that. :?

                        Hopefully you have like solid engine mounts or something.
                        Im now E30less.

                          Yep tight fit, at least it had a timing chain. The tight fit is one reason I replaed every gasket, seal, and belt I should of done the Coolant hoses but there is only 1-2 Hard to get too. I do hope the Engine mounts Hold up, They are brand new stock m20 units so Hopefully.
