        Did you slightly move the engine back?

        Yeah I originally had it an inch further forward, but moving it back gave me a good bit of room at the radiator and helped the headers clear the control arm mounts.

        Looks awesome! I have always loved the Alpine BMW's, especially the e30.
        Yep! Got really lucky with that, didn't even know they were desirable when I got it.

                    Is so beautiful.... I love those Type As, they are such a great wheel for our cars.

                        Thanks! The headers were a very lucky deal, I ended up getting them basically for free because I had no idea if they would fit or not.. They were also rusty and slightly hacked up. After having the collectors re-done, tubes bent slightly upwards and ceramic coating they fit well and don't look too bad either

                            Nice! Im loving the swap so far, can't wait to get it tuned so it actually makes a little bit of power. My advice to you would be to set the motor back as far as possible and install it from the bottom with the motor and trans attached. I had the motor in and out 3 times, the last time we went from the bottom and it was much much easier
