Nice. Let us know how that wiring harness will workout. I'm interested in going the same route.

Will do! It's been great so far. Came labeled and everything for me

Did you check out the DIY I wrote?

I couldn't help myself from at least turning her over..
Didn't have an intake on and I later realized I also didn't even have the ECU plugged in, haha
Intake parts on their way :)

M50 intake manifold and M50 fuel rail

So you want to know how to bolt the metal fuel pipes to the m50 manifold?

Does this help?

Are you running the M50 intake mani?
what fuel rail?

Any help?

Just curious but, why not go UHMW everywhere?

I bought the AKG mounts and bushings awhile ago and I don't think Condor was making UHMW everything at the time.
He could have been. When I was planning on the doing the m20 turbo I was going to go poly everywhere, then when I changed to the s52 I just bought the UHMW mounts

Just read through the whole thread, nice work man! Looking forward to doing this to my 325 down the road. I have an S52 that I've rebuilt the shortblock on. Waiting on tearing the head down and having it pressure checked, resurfaced and a valve grind/seals done and then the longblock can be put together. I still have a ton of stuff I need to gather up for my swap but reading through threads like this gives me hope that I'll get it done eventually.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad I could give you some inspiration :)
