I've got my engine in the car with the alternator attached. No issue even with the 3" Cone Filter attached to the AFM. Attached are a couple pics that I have on my blog... if you need more ...

Nice work on the center console - would love to see it when you're finished!

Nevermind... after reading this http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,57/page,viewtopic/t,283104/highlight,tie+rod/, I think I'll just replace the whole tie rod (ball joints incl ...

I had to remove the centerlink & tie rods to drop in the M20. Pounded on it for awhile and eventually ended up using a pickle fork. Proceeded to damage a couple of the "bushings" on the tie rod(s). ...

Been awhile since I've had a chance to update. Think I finally figured out the motor mount issue. Had to have the passenger side rewelded by a shop, but it's still 1/4" off or so... will have to dri ...

If Mike's not interested, I would be...

Thanks,
Chris

You're more than welcome to come by and take a look. As you can tell, I'm having some problems with the right side motor mount that I purchased. The angle is way off and it looks like I ...

I'm definitely not one to give advice in regards to racing, auto-x, or hill climbing as I have not done any of the above. However, I would like to take my car out to some track days at P ...

Excellent and thank you. I look forward to the photos!

BTW - You can mail me directly if you'd like: cjreents@gmail.com

I suggest you raise the engine with a floorjack, then slacken the motor mount brackets from the block. Try to fit the bolts on the subframe for the square mount, and lower the round one. Tighten. Lowe ...

Did you buy these from Dan recently? I have a set from the first run made in 2001 I think... as far as I know, they are on their 3rd or 4th revision by now. Anyways, my passenger side mount was prett ...

Okay - So, I've read through every post on the Williams mounts. I've spent every night this last week after work and several hours this weekend trying to get the motor mounted with the 323i trans att ...

Thanks Tristan...

Just came in from spending another couple hours in the garage trying to get the engine mounted. I'm seriously only an inch or so away from fully mounted (no pun intended) - my s ...

It's been awhile since I've posted... accomplished a few things and still gathering parts.

Here's a pic regarding the different water pumps - really enjoyed replacing it twice:

Is this Chuck's old M20? He's answered a bunch of my questions offline and has been a great resource for my M20 build...

You don't happen to own a mintgrun 2002, and just happened to be playing golf at River's Edge on Sunday (yesterday)? I spotted one at the turn...

Anyway, I am currently in the process of ...

Nice project......I've got a 75 torn down to the shell that I'm building up for track. I was originally planning on doing an m20 conversion and that's the main reason I looked for a automatic, and fo ...

Water Pump Theory Confirmed!

Thanks to Ian for sharing his photos and answering my questions. Indeed, if you want to run an expansion tank on the passenger side of the vehicle you need the older s ...

Looking good Mike - I'll have to stop by in person one of these days...

I spent some time over the weekend working on the M20 while it sits on the stand. Replaced the timing belt, tensioner and water pump (first time ever for all three) - I was psyched! Then I started d ...

Most swappers use the Dan Williams mounts. You can contact me directly for his email address or post a WTB add in the parts section... You might be able to find someone selling their mounts.

Excellent, thanks for the pics. I look forward to your memory being jogged - I have the same problem all the time!

Thanks,
Chris

First off - I promise that I've read through all of the posts regarding radiators for the M20 conversion. In doing so, it has lead me to an interesting observation/question.

I have a '90 m20b25 an ...

I just bought some hose from http://www.autohausaz.com - you purchase by the meter. I've bought several items from these guys and they seem very reasonable and ship quickly.

Hey Mike -

I saw that your selling a Magnaflow muffler... what's your new plan for the exhaust?

Thanks,
Chris

Car looks great - love the interior!

It took 10 days before I was able to find some time to spend a few hours on the car. I was able to disconnect the M10 from the 320i 5spd. Looks like my 228mm clutch and PP is in pretty good shape an ...

Good to know, thanks!
