Yeah, you could easily build it into a good manual tc. How your front output shaft? Mine is ok but not great. I'll also be selling the transmission. I know you asked about the cam - not sure when I will pull the M20. I guess when I'm closer to being ready to install the engine, and/or when I run out of funds lol. I'd like to keep it drivable as long as possible though!
Rabbit hole indeed! M54 would be way way easier. You can use the ix mount arms and build a frankenpan. The issue there is brake booster clearance because the engine sits more upright.
Yeah, the N52 is lighter than the M54. I think until the issues are sorted out though, M54 makes more sense if you want a lightweight 24v motor. although, in a RWD car it would be considerably less complicated!
Still no stand.. But i pulled the flywheel off. FYI, the M20 pilot bearing fit right in, so using a getrag is no problem. On the newer cars, the pilot bearing is in the flywheel instead of the crank.
I was concerned they wouldn't have machined a place for it but they did! I think on newer n55 cars, they use an 8 bolt flywheel.
I could use any 24v flywheel here but i will use an aluminum n52 flywheel so i can use the N52 starter, which is also lightweight. The aluminum flywheel will be way lighter than the stock dual mass!
