Sorry guys :( No other chance to drive it before college. My friend was supposed to help fix the alternator today, and then we were going to head over to a huge meet but I'm just too busy to do anything.


Also, I was just accused of speeding up that video ahaha.

Holy cow, that's it? Haha, mine is only like, 3/4 quarts less I believe, so around 4qts.

Ithink mine is set considerably lower and farther back so more of the pan was taken out compared to the e30v8 stuff.

[FunfGan]

Ah! I forgot you had a custom pan, as apposed to the universal kit stuff. So the engine sits lower too? Any idea how much?

[eurotrash]

My pan literally sat on the steering rack bolts even after neing clearanced. I wasnt real happy when i saw the dent in the bottom of the pan. I wound up cutting the end off the bolt so i didnt punch a hole in the pan.

Also, a few people have asked me for a pic of the trans mount, so here it is bar paint and holes for the mount.

Very good idea! I should probably check mine next time the engine is out...

He's got an old iron 302 strapped into the car and you think his transmission mount looks heavy?

[eurotrash]

Lol my "transmount" is a piece of angle iron w/ holes

But it won't break!

I can almost assure you my combo is almost as or just as light as an m50 swap, and better weight distribution.

I'll just leave this here.

engine assembly 540 lbs

The m5x engines weight around 400 lbs fully assembled.

And I've dropped off the entire smog pump system, a/c system and compressor, power steering pump as well as removed the heater core and the carb assembly is lighter than the equivilant efi intake mani. So I'll do the meth and get back to you guys haha.
