    Quick couple things: (the other things I don't have pictures of yet)

    Tossed on the new 330mm rotors (Volvo S60R) and threw a RC over top to get an idea.

              Thanks, guys! Uh oh, just realized I might have a roadblock from putting this engine in this weekend. I need 6mm dowel pins for the flywheel/pressure plate. Crap.

                Can you pull the ones from the FW I sent you or are they a different size?

                    Well, I checked the e36 dowel pins this morning before work, and they are too big. 

                    however, I think I should be alright... Dustin to the rescue!

                        Engine and trans are queued up and ready to go in after I get some work done on the e36.

                            should have drawn a dick on the flywheel prior to assembly.

                              Maybe I did. #secretsobscuredbythebellhousing

                              Anyways, the engine/trans are in. I had to make a bracket to mount the power steering pump today, but didn't take a picture. 

                              Anyone know a good place to have custom power steering lines made up? Or should I just go the route of a compression fitting to AN?

                                Hyquip does all sorts of custom hoses, most even made while you wait. I would definitely check them out first. Looking good by the way!
