Corey's S52 Swap

[Court M3]

Nice 4 door early model!

Thanks everyone! Didn't notice the new replies for some reason. The build is going very slow right now as I don't have much time with work and everything else. But it is coming along.

Engine still needs a wash, I'm just dreading it, haha.

Looks like you're about 3200 in (added up a rough estimate in about 30 seconds) and you've got most of the stuff. So you're looking at about a 4k swap to put about 250 to the wheels. Looking good...

Yah that sounds close. I'm not trying to go cheap on this build, but I'd liketa keep it reasonable. ha.

Looking good man. Update the build. :)
Let me know if you need anything.

Will do, thanks man.

4. Oil Pan Swap. 3/30/12

Securing the oil pump nut. New nut and safety wire from Bimmerforums.


E34 pickup tube on


Oil pan on, RTV'd of course


What mess mom?

updates?

Awesome build is awesome.

[el bimmer]

Sweet, like the excel spreadsheet. There is some information here.

Any reason you went with wire rather than a tack weld on the oil pump nut? Other than not having a welder...

Hey Corey, any updates?

[coreyw]

Haha man, I let this die quickly :(

I'd read that the wire was actually safer than a tack weld. Seemed like more people did it that way also. But I'm sure it's all the same I guess.

Hey Corey, any updates?

Just got myself an e28 for a daily driver, so I can finally finish this thing up. I have so many parts lying around just waiting to go back together. So I should have updates soon!

[e30_neverstock]

nice e28. keep us posted.
