[oHSo EuRo]

Welp here is my awesome work space as of right now.



Started stripping down the motor some more, got most of the front dress off and other misc. pieces.

Painted the upper manifold today. Gotta get more paint and do the lower.

Almost everything I need to assemble the motor has come in and also pleased to say that I will be moving into my new garage space within a few weeks time. Once I'm in the garage you can your bet your hipster ass's more updates will be coming.

this thing sounds awesome. a good friend of mine did a 5.0 swap in his drift e36 and he loves it

This is going to be savage! Are you from RI? I think I've seen this car in person

[Frode D]

I've always loved this car from the first time I saw it, style 32's are perfect for E36. Reminds me of my first car (samoablau E36).

Your "to do list" is

[Wesside]

I like it

[B Rod]

This should be awesome.

Not totally positive, but I would guess you will want to remove the paint from the mating surfaces on those heads(where the intake mani and header gaskets go).

Edit: I see you did on one side. Not sure if it matters for the exhaust side(assuming thats the exhaust side, lol). I really don't know about Ford V8s.

i notice you got some gt40p heads for it.what kind of headers/manifolds do you plan on using.

[tohoopty]

yes this i like

may I suggest the trick flow stage 1 cam though? much better tech now than the alphabet cams.

i loved the tfs stage 1 cam i had in my mustang.the rpm range on it was 2,000 to 5,500.didnt start pulling hard till 3,000 but it pulled hard all the way to 7,000.had like 330 dollars in it with matching valve springs.

Pumped to see this finished, are you going to leave at this height to slide it?

[pattrick02]
