I thought you were going to drop the engine in a few weekends ago? =P

[YoungCR]

RC's are gonna look great on that car Can't wait to see the engine in that beautiful bay.

[The Full Banana]

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.

[jc43089]

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

[The Full Banana]

Hmmm, good thought. I'll have to take a look.

[The Full Banana]

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!

[The Full Banana]

Big ol' calipers.

[The Full Banana]

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

(The dirty stuff was just on for mockup and timing for flywheel indexing)

Looking great!  Excited to see this thing in person sometime.

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!

[DrLeadFoot]

Can't wait to see this in person!  Super clean bay!  Epic wire tuck.

[The Full Banana]

Thanks guys! I'll crash a BMW meet or two in this car this summer... park on the street or something. I can't wait for the meet "season" to get going. 

Progress and such. In-fender wiring pretty far along now. Waiting for the intake manifold to show up to finalize all the wiring that will be hidden under that.

Looking topnotch as usual! Can not wait to see this car in person!
