    A 300 lb Puerto Rican stole my Seta~!~!

    Ok ok, not really. (smonkbmw, aka Jeff) But he did help man the engine stand while pulling the m20, and while I pulled the tranny off the m20 and put it onto the s50. Keep in mind, this is my first time playing with any swap stuff on anything other than an inboard boat motor.

    Had the m20 out in about 6 hours. Its hard for me to take something apart that works/runs fine, but I had to buckle down and do it. I dont know why I always do crap like this 1 week before the picnic, but oh well, anyone wanna come help? :)

    Thanks Tony for helpin with the shifter tweaking yesterday! And to Elliot fer helpin me clean a bit.

    Dismantling Started




    Pulling Initiated (smonkbmw)


    Seperates


    Dirty s50


    Dirty Engine Bay


    Front Subframe Reinforced (TMS Kit)


    Clean Engine Bay (1995 m3 rack installed)


    Thermal Coated Headers Installed (Clean s50)


    Oil Dist Block, Braided Cluch Line, Clean Intake Side


    Tranny Mounts, New Flex Disk, Adjusted Carrier and Selector


    The SSR's, with e36 m3 front brakes (these were kept as a treat for the swap)


    Yes, I am under there, tightening the engine mounts.


    Now for all the small stuff.


    Brakes and throttle body still to go.


    Some new bits, and yes, the belt was fixed :)


    Billet Adjustable FPR


    25mm Master Cyl


    Nearly complete.


    Throttle body, intake boot and all fluids added.


    Exhaust side, Running condition


    Intake side, Tunning condition


    How she sits with current susp, s50 and CF hood.


    Ignore the neighbors Honda :)

          Sanks! Hehe. I had the line made while I waited at a local Hydraulic shop. Ran me like $40. There was someone on here selling some also.
