1987 325e. Eventually Boost+M50 Swap
-
So I got my M50 longblock the other day.
I needed some parts for my swap so I got the following:
late model coolant reservoir
e28 535i motor mounts
M50 alternator (my longblock didn't come with one. I got it on the cheap!)
Then I filled up my corolla and went to milwaukee to meet with Snap and KaiserRolls for lunch.
I bought these headers off of KaiserRolls for my m50 swap for $50. The welding connecting them to the midpipe is almost too good to be true.
Then Kaiser drove me to meet up with Rampelsauce. I bought a zinnoberrot trunk + is spoiler off him for $40... Yes... I am in the back of an E30 coupe WITH an e30 trunk. So very spacious indeed (and I'm almost 6'2").
After a very dangerous drive back (freezing rain.. saw a lifted jeep with meaty tires spin off the interstate at 70mph smack right into a concrete wall under a bridge) my corolla had used less than half a tank to get to Milwaukee and back (I'm from madison; I filled my corolla up before I left)
I "Kryloned" the is spoiler and did the trunk swap. Here's how she sits.

Nice, I like the black spoiler, goes well with the red.
Thanks!!!

They had to try and weld it when it was already on the car. So I can see how that would have posed a problem.

Also; I have a free e36 auto Trans in unknown working condition that's currently mated to my m50. You bring a engine hoist; remove it from the m50; help me load the m50 into my e30(I'll be removing the pass seat and setting the engine down there. And it's yours. Also willing to give free beers + money if youd like. This would honestly be a big help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
