Couple shots of M50 Progress

[Widebody325]

Here are a couple shots I took with my phone tonight of the swap. I am using the m20 trans. I modified the stock m20 arms and used the stock m20 mounts. The fit is incredable, and the trans bolts up real nice. So all I have left is, wiring, intake, connect driveshaft and shit linkage assembly, get a e34 dipstick tube, and turn the key. I will get some real pics of the motor asap. Wish me luck. -Ben

They were included with the motor, they are OBX brand. I took the stamped plate off, but suprisingly enough they are real good quality headers, the are mint and the stainless is mirror. BTW I had to cut an re-weld the rear header to get it to clear the control arm heatshield on my e30.

Good luck with the rest of the works.

Swap looks like it is coming along!!
Congrats!
Driving it will be the most rewarding feeling ever!

Is that a M52 in there??

Thanks for the comments. I live in northeast Connecticut, and I do all the work myself. I am an experienced welder so that really helps when it comes to fabbin up the parts I need. The motor is just a straight up vanos M50-Ben

Doing all the work yourself? Props to you!!

I did the swap myself and it was quite the expierence let alone the gratification of completing it, turning the key and hearing it purr

I have done alot of motor swaps before, and like you said. Theres not a better feeling moment when you hear that motor turn over for the first time.
