V8 Swapped E30

I will be OK with mounting everything inside the cab. I plan to switch to steal braided lines, but I'm using the rubber lines for mock up, because they came with the masters.
-
I got some ABS plastic tonight and ended up making a plate and I mounted my resivoirs.
-
I wont know for sure until I have everything mocked up in the bay. As of right now everything can be changed and Ill make the final decision once the motor is all done and in.

its like those 1900s race cars where you need a co-pilot to watch/fill the oil level because pistons had no rings and all the oil was dumped right out the exhaust.

Yes, I'm deleting all of the heater vents. I'll be putting gauges in the middle vents and on the driver's side vent. The passenger side vent is just getting blocked off.
-
I took everything out including the heatercore so no heat. I think it would be hard to move the climate controls.

They tore me apart. I don't understand why? The pedals are designed to attach to the masters right above your feet. It's not illegal to have them in the cab either.
-
They just figure you would want them out of sight and your current location would be better suited for switches of gages. For me it would seem better to try and mount them under the dash right above the pedals to have the shortest lines going down to the pedal. You dont need much room above them because you can fill them with fluid using a bottle pump=)

Yeah r3v was not happy about this.
In my worthless opinion it falls in the 'rice' category. If you hid them under the dash or put them through to the engine bay nobody would have said anything.
You custom mounted them to your dash like a aluminum spoiler on a civic.
But this is why everyone builds cars and not two turn out the same. My car pissed a lot of people off too.

I assume people on r3v were expecting something like this more....
