Well a 87 325 popped up FS on the forums here. It was actually 1/2 a mile from my house. So it actually worked out perfect that it was so close to me.
Someone before me did an "I" swap on it and tried to use the "E" electronics and some other "E" parts. I wasnt going to piss around with the current motor since it had some oil leaks and what not.
Anyways this is what it looked like when I got it.
I bought the car last month on Aug 24th. I had the old motor pulled out and the engine bay cleanded up first thing on the 25th and the new one sat in place.
I had to leave on Aug 26th for vacation so the car sat from then till the 30th. Yesterday and today I finally got to finish everything up. Big Big thanks to EricT for wiring up my harness and taking car of that whole deal.
And here is a little video of her running.
Exhaust will come tomorrow. Waiting on the short shifter and H&R springs to come in the mail. Should have all that stuff taken care of by the end of the week.
Not bad for only a few days worth of swapping in a fresh motor.
