Good work dude, any particular reason for the aftermarket clutch pedal, mc and slave? I re used my oem stuff just fine.

Its because you have to convert the T5 transmission to a hydro from a simple cable cutch.

Also, I know somebody asked, so heres the answer: I'll be running a 3.73 rear diff(from another e30). Most stock, fox body rear ends were 3.71. Stock fox body's weigh ~3500, my car weighs ~2300. There will be carnage

I know somebody on here offered to tig the pan, if he or anybody else local would be willing to do so, let me know. I'm about to order a new pan.

Sorry I haven't had any updates guys, but heres some old pictures

Sorry, miss the old girl

Not much to see, but...

Pulled the engine back out.




Tight fit! People said it was impossible to put in/ take the trans and engine out as a whole.






Removed the smog pump, put a bolt into the line then welded it all shut. Looks much cleaner, and dropped about 10lbs.




Then after putting all the clutch stuff on, the headers(and new gaskets) and new oil pan and gasket, this happened:






As it happened, it actually fell perfectly into place. Unfortunately, the tabs on the starter broke off, so some more welding to do. The hoist fell over because the front feet kept digging into the asphalt, so much so that without counterbalance on the rear, toppled forward.

Well anyway, got it back into its home, so more updates/ pictures later in the week!
