    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.

              Thanks. I can't wait to drive it this spring!

              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!

                            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.

                                Thanks TJ

                                Test-fit with the intake manifold. looks like the new fuel rail interferes with the strut brace, so that'll take some figuring.

                                These 17" RCs barely clear the caliper. Perhaps a bit close for comfort.

                                  I thought my brake setup was cutting it close.  e46 330i brakes (325mm) with 16" contour reps.  I have less than 1/4" clearance.  From the pic it looks like tons of room for the caliper.

                                    The picture does look roomy, especially with the adapters on there. There is 1/16"-3/32" clearance between the caliper and the barrel of the wheel. It's VERY tight.

                                      On the bright side, it will be an automatic indicator if a wheel gets bent.
