It's a tall order, but I'd like to see it fire tomorrow. Chris is obviously the magic hands behind the operation.

... First thing in the AM is the manual swap

Not all that hard once you set your mind to it. Had mine done in less then 3 days. Besides we know you had plenty of spares correct Joe?

Awesome, using a 260/6 and 533 flywheel as well? I am picking one up next week just need to order a clutch kit still. Some guys on bfc e24 forum explained that if 260/6 is used with 533 flywheel, then a regular e34 535i clutch will work just fine. Hopefully that will be the case.

I'm actually not sure exactly what the flywheel is. The donor car was supposed to come with a 265, but showed up with a 260/6. I assume I have a flywheel from a 265. Clutch parts are 533...

here is the motor as of a few minutes ago. Should be dropped in within a couple hours...

see ya in a couple days @ the picnic!

[Funkmasta]

BIG update here.

It was a MAD rush getting this stuff done before the picnic.

Engine is running and driving, some unknown fuel issue, will look at that this week.

Valance, airdam, Mtech1 wing painted and installed, Mirrors painted body color.

First 350 miles had a couple hiccups, I'm just glad that the car made it to Seattle and back on the maiden voyage (M30 swap, Auto to manual swap).

[Funkmasta]

wow.
