UPDATE: ok mon-sat this week i have been at it on the swap. last nite i finally got the motor seated onto the mounts at about 3am, took some pics yesterday, thought i would share...

fresh subframe+ z3 1.9L rack installed and ready with AKG knuckle mod installed.

headers installed, with nice shiny new coppers...

wiring harness ready, used my old m20 c101, and soldered it onto the s50 harness with the help of Aaron(cahomey), thanks bro!

Dougsic tranny brace installed with e21 mounts.

selector rod bent up for clearance, and twisted 10deg to compensate.

had to pull the fuel rail + valve cover for more clearance @ firewall.

OH YEAH BABY, SHE IS IN!

c101 hooked up, looks OEM. also you can see my IX booster installed w/o adapter.

IX clearance @ intake manifold. didnt shave any fins, its pretty much touching...

header clearance @ subframe. i have the mount spaced up about 1/8", headers pretty much sitting on subframe b/c of the wrap.

oil pan is damn low on these motors...suspension isnt even settled yet, just dropped the car on the ground in this pic.

got the cooling system installed, new rad, new coolant tank....bling bling!


for all you muscle car lovers, we had some fun with chalk...LOL

back to the first page, fiberglass header wrap is supposed to be soaked in water for a while before your install it, I looked at the instruction that I pitched in the after I installed my head wrap.

you want to get it damp, not soaked..

[surebimmer]

Cary is you still need arms. I can order you brand new ones for like $60.
