TRAITOR!!! Haha that is srsbisnss indeed, what are you going to do with the M42? I may be interested.

Serious indeed! It's gonna be killer with the M-Tech II pieces. What are you using for the transmission and driveline?

You can still hang out if with the cool kids if you want.

As long as you have 4 valves/ cylinder in an e30 you are cool in my book.

M42 is already spoken for, none of you guys would want it it is a leaky mess.

I'm going to be using the GeTrag 240 and a 3.73 diff, should be nice

You have a heavy front now.

Traitor.

Just kidding

I don't have an M42 in either of my E30s either, but I still hang around here.

Nice!

How long did it take to build?

St�ck · « **Reply #10 on:** March 13, 2008, 07:00:58 PM »

I bought everything about 2 weeks ago.

I started the swap last Friday, but have been stalled since that Saturday because of forum misinformation as far as clutch fitment. The flywheel I ordered on Monday STILL isn't here, despite the urgency I expressed when paying for it. I bought everything else I needed and had it 2nd dayed in for nothing while I sit around waiting for the flywheel.

All I have left to do is bolt the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate on, bolt up the trans, install driveshaft, bolt up exhaust, and fill/bleed the coolant.

Very nice, now you have some serious power to back up the top-notch bodywork and baller wheels

. Are you going to be doing anything to that motor, or leaving it stock?

St�ck · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2008, 07:27:22 AM »

It has a LTW flywheel, underdrive pulleys, 3.5in HFM, 24lb injectors, OBDI conversion, and TMS software tuned for the mods. Ought to be plenty for now.

I started it for the first time last night. Started first turn of the key and idled beautifully. All systems seem to be working fine and its very rev happy. I need to bolt the cats/resonators on and take it out for a drive today.

once you drive it let us know what you think of the weight/handling differences
