E36 M3 - LS3/TR6060 Swap

[jakeb]

Had to make some changes to the headers and also move the engine mount a little bit to give me more room.

From here....


to here



More header work....this fits but I did have to slide the drivers side engine mount out to get it in.






I'll take more pictures from the bottom later today...it was late when I came in last night. THey might ave to get tweeked a little bit more but headers are just about done!

your header fabrication is artful. can't wait to see more!

They look even better in person! Car is really coming together man. Keep up the good work

This thread just consumed my morning at work :rofl: big props to you being a teacher AND being this awesome as well...Can't wait to hear the beast running !!

Glad I could help take your mind off work :)


Dropped the wheels off to get mounted up...
Snapped a pic of the tires as they were sitting out.



These shows up to be donors for the flares



Fitment of the two runners


Third runner in progress....still need to test on the car.

Still need to test this runner in the car but it should fit without any problem.







My idea for cylinder 3


Cylinder 1 would then tuck under #7 runner. Will find out tomorrow afternoon.

I will be taking it all apart very soon to do some upgrades, would you be open to selling me some of your components?

Sure thing, PM sent

Thanks...I really didn't want to have the steering going through the headers. Things are still tight but I am liking this routing.

With these I was actually able to install the header from the top. Not sure how that will be once all the runners are on but...we will see.

Started on one runner...


It's hard to get a picture of how it routes...


Where the collector will go..


From farther away


Another angle


Collector could still go a couple different ways....

[kalib0y]

nice work on the headers. I like how you dont have the steering shaft going right through

[BamaE30]

Nice work Jake as always.

[LJ851]

Nice work !

Is it just me or are your headers looking better every time you make a set?

[jakeb]

Drivers side header is a bit more work...but making progress none the less. It is a puzzle....that I sure enjoy solving.

[ACHTUNG]

Jake doesn't fuck around.
