What drive shaft should I use

e36 m3 drive shaft??

Just an idea. The driveshaft you are trying to find can be a challenge.
Just throwing this idea out there
Consider removing your output flange on the new trans and resuing the smaller output flange so you can use the stock driveshaft. I think the spline has enough room to accommodate a little longer trans.

Here's my trans brace I decided to come up with. I used some brainstorming and the 3 sets of mounts I had

Drilled one hole
I used one stock e30 manual trans mount
One automatic trans mount with a little notch grinded
And a thick large washer
zF trans for the win

I spy no grease


That zf5 trans is tight little hoe

ordered vac motorsports coolant pipe for the timing cover
obd1 m50 harness automatic , still needs trimming need advice

the alternator bearings are extremely noisy anyone have a good write up on how to service them
also do you know if you can run a m52 alternator on m50 harness ?

Your alternator depends on what was set up for the harness. The M52 alternator I doubt would work on a M50 harness but it really depends on the amperage of what it was set up for. Plus, what would you run for a battery?
Great build, love to see the progress.
