This is awesome. I've been wanting to put one of these engines in my E30 for a long time. Looking forward to seeing this completed.

Got the engine in place and welded up some mounts.  Its leaning about 5° toward the passenger side.  This was for clearance for the slave cylinder to tie rod. 

BMW could not have put that damn steering box in a worse place for engine swaps!  Because of that the engine mount on that side had to be round tube instead of square and at a weird angle.  Not a big deal, but I also now have to remote mount the oil filter.  Next time I'm going to convert to rack and pinion.  I measured everything out and I'm pretty sure I can use an MGB rack.

Anyway a couple pics.  Next is the dreaded oil pan, yuck!
