Good deal
I'll search around for a bit, Craigslist in this are isn't the most lively.
May just end up buying one from harbor freight. Granted I may only use it once or twice, but having one is nice.
Plus it's like a guaranteed six pack of "insert beer here" for when someone wants to borrow it.

The s50 is currently on the stand when the m50 comes out I'm swapping the e34 pan and other stuff off of it. Then dress the s50, put m50 on tires, then put s50 in. M50 going to a buddy who is gonna give me driveshaft/clutch and some help over a weekend
At least that's the plan
I have yet to order any parts haha

May I ask why you went m50-s50? No plans of other mods in the future?
M50 + G250 is pretty high miles (240xxx) or so
S50 + ZF + DME + harness was cheaper than rebuilding an M50, and has almost 80xxx less miles.
I'll slowly add other things to the car as well. Suspension stuffs and such.
It's pretty much plug and play for some extra hp/torque and still cheaper than pouring money into a leaky m50
And it's something to keep me busy

and you can be cool and say it is ///M swapped...
I'll tell people it's 325e swapped

So in my efforts to swop. I also want to clean up as much stuff within the bay as possible.
I am torn on running heat or not I will be passing the TB.
Still on the fence with PS too.
The evap/charcoal canister can thing I would also like to ditch. Assuming this would be as simple as venting to atmosphere? There is also a connector that goes from the TB to the top of this (purge valve?) assuming that would still need to be plugged into the harness otherwise it will throw a cel?
The line with the red tape is the line coming from the gas tank. Other line with harness plug goes to TB

Why vent your expensive fuel vapors to atmosphere?

So I can get rid of a crusty piece of shit that's 27 years old.
I wonder how functional it is in its current state.
But mainly so I have one less thing to put back into the car

Driveshaft is off
Trans mount is off
Only thing holding engine in right now is slave cylinder/line
Engine mounts. Shift selector.
And motivation

Use a plastic e36 one, or a universal one. Weighs nothing and keeps your car from smelling like gas all of the time.
Good work on the swop, this should be awesome.

Id welcome the smell of gas.
This thing smells like oil/coolant now
