      That is awesome!  Looks like it needs a manual swap.  Remember your last slowmatic?

          Looks like a sweet project. Does it run but needs a tune up?

            That looks awesome, nice find! I'd probably just rebuild the carbs if they are all gunked up. 

            Also, I recognize that truck! Glad it's being used to haul sweet bimmers around, I miss that thing sometimes.

                M30B30 carbed.  Apparently it runs.  Just need to hook up a battery and give it a shot.  I'll be keeping it auto at first.  Flirting with the idea of 5 speed swapping but the priority is to get it running and driving, then cosmetics.  Then possible trans swap.

                    nice find!

                    i think you should accidentally swap a m30b35 with 5-speed swap

                      This was discussed.  Who knows what the future holds?  I just want to get it on the road for now.

                        Cleaned up my keys a bit at work. I'm still surprised that they used to do keys this way.

                          Those keys are off the chain, brother

                            I took them off the chain to polish them up, but I assure you they are back on the chain at this time.

                                          Haha.  Sorry.  Will post some updates soon.  Carbs are out and getting cleaned up.  I'll get some more pics after I get everything re-installed and I get the car up on the lift.
