Slammin' finished something....

What engine was originally in the e34? m20, m30, m50?

Started with a M50 (with leaking headgasket) and a failing auto trans. I put an M30B35 with 5sp.

Later that day Paul's wife and I were talking and she noticed the zip ties in my ear.....that I had put there that morning.

This was after the interview too.

I must have looked like a class act. Can't wait to see the video.

HAHAHA

I can't wait to see it.

Oh dear god. lol

Maybe that was about getting the flywheel spacer done? I have no idea where the 560 came from. I abhor those transmissions. Made of glass the synchros are.

I do remember doing the CCA Foundation interview....drunk.

Oh dear god. lol

I showed up with a splitting headache that finally subsided around beer 9 and a couple IBprofins. There was a drunken exchange about how you got a getrag 560 (at this time I did not know you did the 420) I don't recall the specifics but it involved you having to perform a sex act upon the proprietor of moosehead engineering. Truly a ghastly exchange of information if I say so myself, what with all the senior citizens around.

I don't remember BJs or a 560g.

I too had been drinking for a long time. Arrived around 11:30 and B-lined it to the Blunt tent to get started early.

Very cool, I suspected you were lying about the BJs you had to give for the 560 getrag. Something just didn't add up in your story, I also had been drinking beer since arriving to the show.

So, on the left of the pic, you see where the starter relief is. I had to cut that shiny bit out with a sawzall and dremel it to clear. If the adapter was 30-35mm wide it would have fit perfectly.

I have a 1 off flywheel spacer so I can run a v8, VAC motorsports 15lb flywheel.

Fuck, I want details!! Engine mounts? Cooling? Electronics? Spill it!

It's literally all stock from the 750iL. I mean, it all bolts in. I just had to adapt the harness and weld in the brackets for the air boxes, etc. The harness doesn't directly plug n play. I snipped the end off the 750 harness and installed a new end that plugged into the 525i body. I just changed the wire positions so they matched. The oil pressure, level, and O2 sensors don't run through the X20 on the 7, so they're wired into the body side...just like on the 7. The x21 is bascially all for the EML. It all bolts in. Even the throttle pedal sensor...there's a place in the e34 pedal box that it bolts into. The wires, again, all plug in. For the EML light....ITS ALL THERE on the e34. It was too easy.

you cheated on the trans I see

Oh thank god.... I was worried I already had my next project lined up.

Wow. Talk about making it look easy!

[stonea]

No, not even close. I have an adapter plate and a flywheel spacer. I actually had to clearance the bellhousing on the trans because the starter locations are THAT different. I'll post pics.
