What else you guys recommend? (getting a new motor).

[oldbimmers]

So next week I should be getting a stage 2 motor from E. Kerman with a couple of sidedrafts (40's). It's a Tii high comp with a 292 cam.

So far I got a new suspension, big brakes, CR tranny (235/5), Lsd, pertronix, msd ignition, tii dizzy, motor mounts and, spark plug wires.

I haven't decided on the alternator yet (after the hellas)

Do I need a bigger fuel pump to feed the hungry carbs?

What about the clutch?

Not really, the big problem is keeping the fuel psi down to about 3 or so. Webbers don't like high fuel psi. You might get away with 5 psi for a day or two but you'll never get a good constant idle.

Do pay attention to this, too....

but am running weber 45's on it. i am using a mechanical pump from an e6/e9. it provides plenty of fuel at a low pressure to feed the webers. i run it to redline with no signs of going lean. another good thing is it's mechanical. install it and forget it.

i went with the alternator from a 318i. do a search for zenon's install instructions. i followed it and it is very simple.
