    That's what my block is painted with. Great choice. When are you planning to throw the motor in?

        Quick couple things: (the other things I don't have pictures of yet)

        Tossed on the new 330mm rotors (Volvo S60R) and threw a RC over top to get an idea.

                  Thanks, guys! Uh oh, just realized I might have a roadblock from putting this engine in this weekend. I need 6mm dowel pins for the flywheel/pressure plate. Crap.

                    Can you pull the ones from the FW I sent you or are they a different size?

                        Well, I checked the e36 dowel pins this morning before work, and they are too big. 

                        however, I think I should be alright... Dustin to the rescue!

                            Engine and trans are queued up and ready to go in after I get some work done on the e36.

                                should have drawn a dick on the flywheel prior to assembly.

                                  Maybe I did. #secretsobscuredbythebellhousing

                                  Anyways, the engine/trans are in. I had to make a bracket to mount the power steering pump today, but didn't take a picture. 

                                  Anyone know a good place to have custom power steering lines made up? Or should I just go the route of a compression fitting to AN?

                                    Hyquip does all sorts of custom hoses, most even made while you wait. I would definitely check them out first. Looking good by the way!
