She gone.  Gotta pick it up from C&S and I will take pictures.  

Asking for a friend:

He wants to boost but need an aluminum block so his e30 can still be an e30 when he wants to hit the twisties.  He was thinking LS2 with lower compression pistons. What head?  Cam?  He is a noob when it comes to the bowtie lifestyle so he asked me to thank you all in advance for any advise. 

I think said friend should get on here and ask those question.

Starting to get hits on a lot of items. It's all for sale. Hit me up!

I'm looking for a S4.10 or open 4.10 in good condition. Anyone want to swap to 2.79 gears and get into the ZF320 trans?

is this where I put my vote in for an LS swap? 

Let's not dwell on the past. Let's look at the bright future of a rumbling, MPG-killing V8.

Amen to that! Once you go V8, you never go back. #V8Mafia

Motor is back! Flywheel is on. Waiting on the wiring harness. The wheels are in motion!

Kinda, -6AN fittings attached to a stock filter/regulator. See pic.

Making new fuel lines with my new 37 degree AN flare tool! Super easy but haven't mastered my bends yet.

Fuel Feed: Tank -> 4-6" of 3/8" rubber hose -> barbed fitting -> -6AN Male -> -6AN Female -> 2' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male attached to input of Fuel filter/pressure regulator -> -6AN Male attached to output Fuel filter/pressure regulator -> 4' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male -> braided fuel line -> -6AN fuel rail adaptor -> LS3 Fuel Rail (Needed to use to fit MSD Atomic AirForce Intake) -> DEKA 60lbs injectors

Fuel Return: Tank -> 4-6" of 3/8" rubber hose -> barbed fitting -> -6AN Male -> -6AN Female -> 2' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male attached to return of Fuel filter/pressure regulator

Thinking about putting a pressure gauge in the engine bay for easy trouble shooting.

You should. They are cheap and will save you some guess work down the road! Glad to see you making good progress. Keep on hammering through
