Awesome car, awesome thread. The only thing I'm not loving is the air cleaner coming through the hood

This

I would love for the engine to fit under the hood. Unfortunately, it doesn't.

I like this quite a bit.

LT1 Manifold and convert it to EFI?

Or maybe some shorter engine mounts + hood spacers?

A different manifold in general might help, I have no intentions of making this car fi though.

The engine cannot sit any lower though. The oil pan rests just barely above the front structure of the car (steering rack etc). So, dropping the engine lower would create another mess of issues.

When we replace the engine with the 350 I may try other manifold/ carb setups to get it under the hood, but right now were stuck with what we've got.

what a great build thread! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for this e36 when I'm at H2o.

Maybe a little hump in the hood like DSM's and other cars have to clean the motor?

That's probably what it'll wind up being, it's just barely too tall now so a little bump would be perfect. Just trying to find the "right" bump/scoop to go with.

perseverance ftw! great job guys

[Fazda]

see some of you guys in ocean city this weekend.

the car looks different, but its still white and sounds funny so you'll be able to spot me

[The Riddler]

those are the ugliest M paras i've ever seen :lol: also this is the craziest project i have seen with an e36, but i like it, when you finish the project a vid of the sound is a must...

tunnel ram and 2 carbs? That would solve your problems. lol

you guys are doing good work!

Seriously, I wonder what a z28 style hood would look like on an e36?

[Fazda]

Well, we completed the swap, Made it to ocean city and had a great time.

I met a few of you guys down there, can't wait for next year!

Oh my fuck this thing was amazing. I shit my pants.

Literally, shit.
