Slammin' finished something....

[CorvallisBMW]

huh, I never realized the M70 was coil-on-plug.

Or is that just you messing around?

[slammin.e28]

Hmmmm.....??? HMMMMMMMMMM??????????

[CorvallisBMW]

Time to bust out the rattle cans

There was a cool pic in the pchop thread of green intake with the raised portions a gold color like the LR logo.

...but looks like that's all gone now. BUH. Just gonna have to do it I guess.

[LJ851]

Get them gold plated.

[slammin.e28]

More wrenchy....



Bank 2 looks just as nice as bank one. ^_^ All the headbolts are present and accounted for.



Cleaned up one of the intakes. Think I'll just take it by a machine shop and have them hot tank both of them, along with other parts, covers, etc.

I am running MS 2 and use FORD explorer coil... oem CPS and this GM TPS

I'm assuming from the pics in your thread that you are running Ford EDIS, one for each bank?

[slammin.e28]

In my head it is.

Haven't touched it. Been being fed a steady stream of cars to tear apart after work. No time for personal projects.

BUH.

[ST1G]

Is it running yet?



MS2 is a good choice.

Looking at MS2 I think that'll do what I need/want. I'll probably pick this up and get building.

Need to make timing tools so I can proceed on the M70 itself.

For that matter, you could use the external 7x crank sensor from WOT-Tech and run two GM ECM's with GM DIS's... Those can be real-time tuned with a Moates Ostrich and TunerPro RT. With its power curve, the V12 is probably pretty similar in VE to a GM Gen III pushrod 60 degree V6.

MS3x, run wasted spark with 2 V6 GM DIS units, or EDIS if you want (assuming it is pretty much the same thing, but ford)

Should be pretty easy to wire it up too.

Less chatty more wrenchy

For $660 I may just pop for the assembled MS3X. I'm impatient and want to have this thing breaking axles by Spring. I'll just forgo trips to the PnS.

Meanwhile, I've checked, and the Rover frame rails are 24.75" apart. M70 is 25" wide, from the outside of the AC compressor to outside of the alternator.

The AC compressor is at the same level as the crank pulley. Alt is maybe 1.5" higher.

Crank pulley will end up dead even in between the frame rails.

So, some moving of components may have to occur. This thing will have AC (and it's kinda needed as the WP is driven with the AC compressor belt).

We're planning on building a cradle for the M70 so we can run it (them) outside the car. Got a lead on a bell housing...and I think the M60B30 flex plate will work with either an M30 torque converter or the Rover one. V8 FW/flex plate is the same OD as the v12. The v12 BH is 1.25" deeper than the M20/M5X one on the Rover now. The trans input shaft is v12 specific.

Going to have a slump in updates....we've acquired a few e34s for parting.

I have a MS2V3 brand new sitting in a box, I got on a trade. Just need a harness and sensors, also has a few additional parts for boost control! haha PM me if you want more info, I only want $415 shipped
