well, i guess i can start this. pictorially, all you'll get is iphone shots as i sold my nikon to a friend a few months ago.
the m44 is gone and an m52 is replacing it. i bought an '04 330i ZHP to replace the e30 on daily driving duties. the guys at Solo Motorsports have been commissioned for help and have been overly helpful in the process. the motor and all the following parts are being put on a pallet and sent out next week:
m52 motor
OBDI s50 wiring harness, drive shaft, clutch kit, flywheel, fuel rail, manifold
brake booster
DME
oil pan, sump, dipstick
oil pan gasket
flex disc
ZF tranny
e39 m5 motor mounts
Grossman Tuning will be doing the swap work. as soon as the motor arrives it will be broken down and all gaskets will be done and any maintenance needed will be addressed as it comes. the head/block/trans will all be painted black by myself once they break the motor down. the OBX m52 headers just came in the mail today, contemplating heat wrapping them in black just to go with the "all black" situation that will happen in the bay. the headers are damn pretty polished though. John Grossman will be doing a custom exhaust setup for the back half of the car. since the car has been down there a full audio system has been installed using alpine 1000w and 500w (digi) amps with 5 1/4inch kappa perfects for the front and references for the rear with a 10 inch type R sub. all of this is being mounted on a custom amp rack and a custom box is being made. a rockford fosgate cap is also being slapped in there. whenever i can snag updates pictorially i will.
a ton of the m44 parts are for sale, alot of which are brand new and broken in (clutch, trans, motor mounts, manifold, plumbing, etc etc etc) so if you know anyone needing anything im willing to cut some deals to move the stuff.
and heres the car in question:
