Seriously, its almost like people don't know what chemestry or age is.

You don't have to go custom tranny. There are hundreds of options for SBC's out there. and a LOT are 5 speeds. plus getting a driveshaft made costs around 100 bucks. If you're worried about 100 bucks you shouldn't be doing the swap in the first place.

Just shoot me a PM when you find them.

YES! I'd love to have them!

On the older BMW's I worked on we'd rip the carpet up and lay down new universal carpet and shape it. The old carpet weighed in at 42 pounds. The new universal carpet was 16.

Another issue on the road to fixing stuff. Checked my transmission mounts...good. look a little to the left and notice the crossmember isn't touching the car. weird. so I go looking further and find out I can lift the transmission and the crossmember goes with it. Turns out there's a good 1.5" of gap between where the bolt bottoms out on threads and where the crossmember SHOULD be...I can't find this part anywhere. WHAT DO I DO!?!??! The only thing holding the motor and transmission from falling back is the stabalizer bar/dog bone. Scary as all be! I'll post pics soon!

I do the same thing. Never had any bad experiences with them or wrong parts shipped to me. Just make sure to double and triple check part numbers and know what you're doing and it goes smooth as butter.

That is awesome! This sight and loyale 2.7 turbo have really helped me keep my wagon alive!

you guys are amazing. Will report back with findings/fixings.

So I thought the sender was broken, turns out its just not plugged in! problem is, I have no idea where the body harness is!! Instead of spending a lot of time pulling the tank and all I'd rather just re-wire it into the cluster myself. does anyone on here know what goes where on the plug???

will do. thanks!

more crappy updates!!! So Now I have no blinkers, no radio, and no power windows. Fuses are getting no power. Alt is at around 13.7 same with battery. Anyone know of any main connectors I should look into? possibly behind the dash?

Shoot me a PM with all the info and stuff. Lets get this underway!

its not the main power supply. I'm getting 13-14 volts to the gauge and radio, hazards, interior lights, highs and brake lights all get perfect power. something is loose somewhere.

Thats pretty funny. I feel like the car was a 1k car. needs issues fixed. but nothing terribly wrong. new crap I need to fix. What accelerator cable do I need? I see 3 on rockauto but I don't know which one I need as they're all slightly different. 1986 GL 1.8 carb 4x4 wagon.
