Maybe the glove isn't all the way on yet.

 

 I mean should I have said, this thing doesn't even come close to fitting?   There are mysteries on this planet but, this motor fitting in the engine bay isn't one of them

No. I agree with your fitment evaluation regardless of metaphor.

 I like to focus more on the glove and less on the fit.  The motor fits in the engine bay. Anything after that is trivial.

Just as long as it's not too loose. 

 

Loose 'gloves' are a nightmare.

 

heh.

 

Exhaust, Scmaust- that's why they invented holesaws!  Just send it out the side of the inner fenders and be done.

reflash the radiator

wow- that's extremely AlPenis.  I mean, you don't even have to flash the radiator

on an E90.

Dang.

radiator flashing is just too good to let pass

New terminology "slick top".

Old terminology "rust free and unmolested".

I was not really offended (pretty hard to do that) but I am terrified by Bill's 383 turbo.

Maybe not the best use of a barn find but Bill likes it and it is his car, respect to Bill a true southern gentleman.

If you get lucky, you can buy one from HPD with a harness and ECU for for $9k ready to race!

Little update throwing in the new motor, welding in the driver's side reinforcement, and burning the shit out of my hand pulling the steering box arm to install new seals. "I know better" haha. Slow updates because day job, subscribe and maybe I can make enough monopoly dollars to make videos all day. Can't wait to annihilate this clutch...

First a couple notes:

You should never leave the engine hanging on the engine hoist for longer than you need to, I've seen too many motors dropped. Its called a engine hoist not an engine stand,

 

Beating on a puller is never going to help, beat on the part not the tool. Beating on the tool will most likely damage the threads.

 

I've burned my self enough times to remember to wear heavy leather gloves whenever using any kind of torch.

 

Now for the fun stuff:

 

Nice car and engine. How was it with 7 psi of boost?

 

What are the former and new engine specs?

 

I'm assuming the 240mm flywheel and clutch you talk about are from an m30, I've always wondered if they would work on an m10. I believe the m30 transmission's use the same input shaft splines and pilot bearings, so it should bolt in.

1.  yeah, but usually it's a slow graceful droop.  I have a better one than I have a right to 

(well, ok, I replaced the seals) so mine doesn't do that.  Much.

 

2. you can always pull on a beater.  I do tend to smack the pullers from the end a bit, more for shock value.  Whalloping is usually just a quick way to get it to fly off and smack you in the face.

 

3. I always remember that, too, right AFTER I pick up whatever it was I was welding.

Did remember to wear 'short' shoes the other day, which saved the top of my foot when

the entire effing puddle of aluminum slumped off and landed square on the laces.

Stunk to HIGH HEAVEN, but I had that shoe off as soon as I felt the 'splash'.

Not too hot- aluminum slumps at 1200 or so.

240mm clutch will not fit inside a M10 transmission, need a M30 trans. 

[TobyB]

even if you take the ring gear off?
