If you plan on dropping motor in from up top then I'm curious to see if you'll have the same problems I did. I couldn't get the left side of the pan to clear the steering knuckle/linkage because of the custom pan it made it extremely hard for me.

[WannaBe30]

Yeah I think I read a post where you mentioned that I will just disconnect the knuckle

Any updates?

[Vtec?lol]

Why is the e36 still there?

And Man you've made this place your own.

[WannaBe30]

No updates...... My cousin needs me to help him swap diffs we are doing that tonight then probably going to be installing flywheel clutch and tranny Thursday I hope. Maybe even drop it in

E36 is still there for parts you know that one isn't mine so it stays till he says it goes

I try to keep my stuff separate from the rest not much space since he brought 2 more Mercedes you should stop by matt

Still ugly but it's a little cleaner

s54 looks so good in the engine bay and the oil pan sits up nice good work

Did you figure out what's going on with the swaybar? I haven't installed my subframe yet, but I want to know the solution before I have this problem myself.

[WannaBe30]

Yes I ordered Ireland engineering sway bar kit that comes with adjustable links so instead of mounting it under that bracket it will be on top

It's somewhere in shipping as soon as it shows up I'll post some pics

Nice work so far! sadly didnt have the opportunity to label my harness so I'm clueless to which plug goes where.

Where do u plan on mounting the ecu and fuel filter?
