          Update--1/7/2014

          I haven't updated because I've been slowly putting stuff onto my engine after school. I have to go to the yard tomorrow and pick up some stuff but after that I'm hoping to get it dropped in!


          Before anyone says anything, the valve cover will come back to me from powdercoating next week and for now, I'm covering it up good at night.


          That's it for now!

            Update--1/9/2014

            Progress was made today. Hoping to get a tonnnnnn of work done this weekend. There is a meet on the 18th and I'm hoping to make it to it, even if I'm still in primer. The engine and tranny are mated and I'm hoping to get it in the car tomorrow. That will leave me with finding a drive shaft and battery cable, finishing the wiring and hooking everything up all in a bit over a week. Hopefully (knock on wood) nothing goes wrong and it starts well.

            I'M IN THE MARKET FOR A DRIVE SHAFT THAT MATES WITH A ZF310. PM ME.

            On to pics.








            Starter got mounted up too, and almost everything is mounted on the engine. I also need to pickup a tensioner and a Mini Cooper S belt... Hmm

            So much to do and so little time.

                    No, I'm taking it back out once it's test fitted and everything is mocked up...

                      Well it's in! Although it looks very slanted towards the rear and idk why? Oh well. I got the trans brace bolted up and called it quits because it was 8 PM. Ill get up earlier tomorrow and start piecing things back together.








                      That's it guys!

                              I like the idea of white block and oil pan....might be easier tracing any leaks!
