          Got the oil filter housing installed & clocked to clear the manifold, fuel rail and injectors installed, oil distribution block put on and the turbo oil feed line ran. Started fitting the turbo oil drain line too. Just have to cut the braided line to length and attach the other fitting.

                Things didnt go as quick and smooth as I wished. Looks like tomorrow will hopefully be the day the engine/trans goes in. Crossing fingers!

                      Install harness, make downpipe, install coolant hoses, radiator and intercooler, install/modify driveshaft, patch floors, install rad. support section, make charge pipes, install hood and seats, check connections and fasteners, add fluids, load tune file, fire it up and go to the e30 picnic.

                      Did i miss anything?

                            That may work. Otherwise cut old mounts off and reweld in new location is the route most seem to take.

                                I ended up welding a flat piece of metal across the tunnel, then put in some gussets, and then cut the center section out and drilled the bolt holes. It's a PITA to keep everything flat, planar and level when you're dealing with little 2 inch long pieces of metal. Otherwise bolting the brackets to a spare CSB or equivalent jig would probably help. Good luck. Don't burn yourself while welding over your head.
