I believe the X-drive oil pans are smaller. Might work for the swap on the cheap. Otherwise I'm almost certain I've seen dry sump pans, which would be hilarious.

We'll be leaving from Dyansport at the Ass crack of dawn on Sunday. Not sure how many will be joining, but I'll have the Alpina, Ryan will be in the 320is, and I think Brian is driving his E30 M3. May have a few other cars join as well..

It's open to any of the Portland peeps who want to join, looks like we are meeting up at the shop at 7AM.

Do you have a planed stop en route? I'm out west pretty far, so I was going to take the back roads up to Longview and hit I5 from there.

If you're going to go through the effort to M60 swap something, just do an S62 ! Lord knows you wouldn't get sick of that over time. ;D

Already have the engine/trans and the perfect sleeper donor car. This will be happening in a couple weeks. Should have an X5 oil pan on order too. Some slight modification to the subframe and the engine mounts (to clear the booster) and it'll slide right in.

We will see. It isn't my car, I was just commissioned to stuff it in. Can't reveal anything else until it's a finished project.

My car is nowhere near pretty right now but I want to go to the picnic damn bad this year...
I may just take her up there anyway, hoopD status and all. Lol

Nothing planned, though I am sure we'll stop for fuel or something along the way. Ideally, we want to get up there fairly early so we get a better spot then we did last year.

I may join this.

You are more than welcome to!

Does anyone know if its possible to run an unsprung M20 clutch/PP with a Single mass flywheel? Gregolas brought it to my attention in regards to single mass flywheels and how they are generally paired with sprung clutch disks?

Thoughts? Is this possible? I've done some light reading, and alot of people are saying that driveability and noise are huge factors

[djjerme]

chatter being the biggest.

Those springs supposedly help dampen the engagement of the clutch disk when you dump the clutch, so there is a possibly increased risk of exploding the disk if you side step it. I've seen it happen on the puck style clutches (unsprung) behind Chevy/Ford V-8's , but I'm not sure if there is enough torque in the M20 to do the same.

I'll probably meet one of the sunday convoys at the Chevron fuel stop off exit 76 in Chehalis as usual.

If this happens, do we want to take the backroads out of centralia again? I promise not to leave half of you behind this time!

Hwy 507 to Hwy 7
