Sidemarkers are a custom tidbit that a buddy makes. No idea what his plans are with them. If he is going to sell them, i'll be in contact with you.

5dmk2 think I shot this with my 24-70L

205/40 front and 45 rear. Wish i had 225's or 245's eventually when I go wider and build up the motor.

Nice car man, you have patience.
Is that normal for IS skirt front piece to hang like that?

When I was test fitting something the tire knocked it off, so........... zipties.

I'm going to have to pull the front fenders and etc off again. When the time comes I'll make a better permanent solution.

But I think it's long been overdue: good work Daniel :up:

My cirrus I need to start the oil pan gasket after the weekend. Got a few goodies on order. Winds are changing direction.

[DIIRTY-30]

Guess the oil pan gasket isn't the only thing being replaced on the m20 anymore...




OOPS.

[DIIRTY-30]

Small little update;

Degreased the block and removed the rear coolant cross over pipe. Also went ahead and test fit Garagistic's exhaust mani's and mounts. Quality fit & work def recommend them.

Needless to say I'm impressed with how clean the inside is; along with the valves looking down from the intake manifold area. Not sure if its worth keeping the m62 heads w/dual vanos or just doing my original plan of m60 heads.

Anyone down to chime in and drop some pennies?




Side note; wire wheeled the radiator support in prepping for a new one; PO beat the shit outta mine and since I'm most likely gonna be solo dropping the motor in.





Also went ahead and put all the exterior pieces back on along with the subframe and struts.

Awesome, I love m60 swaps

Same; a few have made the LS1 argument with me but thats not the purpose of my build. I want something that retains some bit of its heritage vs just aiming for power.
