Do you think you'll keep the broom handle in the cabin, or make a roof mount for it?

2,3 and 4 done

  Last time we push this beast😬

She looking different nowdays. The semi chisel contours of the 36 feeling more defined...like shes finally almost  ready, stanced, not for low'ness, but for whats under her hood...eagerly awaiting to be unleashed!!

And those 3.5s look mental from a distance.....like..."look at this POSER"😂😂

Does it work out more cost effective to have franklin cams modify your existing cams, than to buy upgraded cams?

 

I know this is the case with the bmw M5x and M6x engines

They grind your cams and supply the rest brru.

Such an enjoyable & pleasing part of the build....!!!🤗🤗🤗😎😎😎😎

Have to raise the gearbox and lower the driveshaft center bearing to align the driveshaft coupling to flange. 

Clearances are so sweet btw!!!

Bled the clutch. My first thoughts were I would have to change the master to accomodate the V8 pressure plate...but nah. Steerling Brake advised the 3/4 bore from the e36 master would work...and....shes has a soft az paddle🤗🤗🤗

Have to get and fit the O2 sensors to the exhaust and prep and spray. Oh yea...to tidy up that rear mount of muffler. ..looks rough. Will shift it to the upper so wont be visible.
