LsBeema 452 Report post Posted January 11, 2020 Fitted mounts. Gearbox all squared up?? Engine 2 mm to right. Height sweet. Have better ideas for the mount and for strengthening the crossmember. Made a vid. Never save?.Starter quite close to steering shaft and makes it more of a squeeze for headers. Might have to bring front 2 forward. Chucked orig springs and some 16s on to move her around. After +-27 hrs...a 6.0ltr V8 sits in this e36 ??? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LsBeema 452 Report post Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Latest engine mount design. Will use +-40mm pipe 3.5-4 mm wall thickness with new base to suit shape of cross member. Edited January 14, 2020 by LsBeema Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LsBeema 452 Report post Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Cert inspector coming in at 1pm tomorrow to go over the Holden that we fitted the V8 into.

zero 1162 Report post Posted January 13, 2020 Moving the steering rack is not ideal. IMO I would be moving everything else before I moved the steering rack location. Awesome build tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LsBeema 452 Report post Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) = one solid strong rear. E60 M5 LSD 3.62 to fit. Did some reading on reinforcing the chassis. Quite abit to do. Plate kits are quite cheap from the US. ...and the snowball of building one HARD-CORE road/race car gets bigger. The choice was either to get a S1000rr from SA or build a Monster....?

Trigga 2 Report post Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Will you record everything regarding required measurements for all the mounts, headers, clearances etc that you’ve fabbed up so it could be done again faster and easier as you’ll have less guess work?

LsBeema 452 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Yeaa boi...???? mee sumps arrived the the land of the Free. Picking up the alti & fuse box for the Ls tonight. Hopefully start the engine on the stand by next weekend. Draughting & pricing for headers(1 7/8)...hate imperial? + material. R side of headers ..2 under and 2 over . L side heaps of space but less past gearbox where the collector will be to the rear of it where it will join to a Y piece...so 2.5" into a Y into a 3". ...so maybe rectangular tubing with the correct volumetric air flow and area space to keep the height on left only....will see....cos eye loike mee stance ay.
