*!Build of the year candidate!* Strange PNW Build: E30+Volvo
So you're keeping the car now? Or does sale prep include the N52 swap?
Still for sale. I figured the only thing that hadn't been done at this point was a swap. I'm not in any hurry to sell it, well, maybe I mean I don't “need” to sell it, so I might as well do the last bits. One of the things that held me back from swapping it before was thinking about the time it would be down. It's been sitting all winter and this particular swap sort of fell into my lap. So I pulled the trigger.
Fair enough, thanks for the explanation! Looking forward to following the swap and glad to see it getting finished! I thought you had planned on doing a Volvo 5cyl engine swap, didn't you already have the motor for that?

I was well on my way, but there was a lot of stuff still need to be "figured out" and someone offered me the right price for where I was at.
N52 clean up, whittling down, maintenance, painting and prep. Aluminum bolts are gonna take me a while to get used to. Feel like they could go from righty-tighty to righty-loosey real quick.
What is that line in the first picture that you've adapted to AN?
I'm not familiar with this engine.
Vacuum pump. As I understand it, the valvetronic engines don't have manifold vacuum since the valve is the throttle body in normal use, so they need a mechanical pump for vacuum accessories (brakes).
