    If you wanted to go fully nerd, you can go opensource and control relay boards through an Arduino. This way you can just wire everything up the Ardunio, program the outputs based on the inputs, and switch the appropriate relays. It may even be able to replace blinker and wisch-wasch relays, etc. https://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/ArduinoPower

    That's amazing! (Infinitybox) I was looking at aftermarket fusebox options as well as oem BMW ones three years ago when I rewired my '02 and settled on the stock box with tyco relays removing load from most switches. The beauty in the infinitybox is that you can just wire your switches into the box and then program the outputs. You just need to make sure that you have enough inputs and outputs available for everything you want to wire up and you know exactly how you want everything to work.

    I've had no trouble putting the two ends in the hole first, then used a big screwdriver as mentioned by hand - no hammer, jack, floor required. No real issues, just tight.

    until

    Hopefully we can make it out this year as the car should be running by that time.

    I doubt it'll be a problem in the long run, considering that BMW didn't think they needed it... Seems like all the bosses were already tapped for me. I have everything installed on the block so I should be good. I haven't crawled underneath yet to check the shield fitment - shouldn't be an issue though. Thanks guys!

    I'm about to put a 87 M10 block into the car, replacing the 74 casting. I have a question about the bracket that holds the transmission cover shield (#17 in this picture - http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=ST12-USA-02-1972-114-BMW-2002&diagId=11_2414) The 87 casting does not have the provisions for the bracket... Anybody ever run into this? A search didn't reveal any information on the bracket...

    As the title says, is there someone around the middle of MO that wants to weld something? That something being my pedal box? I'm in St. Robert. This request can be closed: Found someone!

    Got one. Thanks guys!

    I'm in need of a steering flange, PN:32312670180.

    Got her done!

    Anybody have an alternator/engine lift bracket for a M10 for cheap?
  12. sirius815
    Well that's excellent!
  13. sirius815
    Yup, just the short block.

    Okay, so I'm an engine swap newb... I don't want to take the hood off and although I am prepared to lift the car high enough to remove the engine through the bottom, is it possible to remove the engine through the top with the hood on, head off, and transmission disconnected? It sure seems like there should be enough room... Ben K.

    Done, ordered! Thanks Blunt!
  16. sirius815
    Do you happen to have it in stock?
  17. sirius815
    Anybody have one handy?

    Haven't pulled the cam yet, however I was wondering if anybody could at least identify the manufacturer. What's in the picture is the only marking, besides "BINF" stamped in the front and a "2" or "Z" past #4 cylinder lobes. The previous owner says its a 292 IE cam.
  19. sirius815
    Got it, thanks!
  20. sirius815
    Is there any guidance on how to install/remove the head alignment dowels (pins) in the blocks? Do I need to heat up the block first to expand it? This may be a stupid question...
  21. sirius815
    That's awesome! Thanks!
  22. sirius815
    The hardest part is probably adapting them - especially for the short console '02s. Esty - do you know of a leather handle for the ebrake as well, instead of the plasticy piece? I may have to go full custom here.
  23. sirius815
    Well sh!t! I looked on ebay as well and couldn't find it! Thanks!
  24. sirius815
    I really hate the rubbery handbrake boot. Is there an aftermarket/factory leather option that compliments the car well or do I need to go custom?
  25. sirius815
    Anybody have a parking/hand brake switch?
