When we got back to my place, we ran into a little speed bump… We had no way of getting it out of the truck! I then made a quick call to “mdpalmer” since he did the same swap and had the tools! He wasn’t home but his gf was and we headed over there to pick it up. Now the engine and tranny are waiting to be cleaned up, prepped and dropped in, I can’t wait!
I’ve also received my driveshaft from the Driveshaft shop but the flange was for the Cobra Rear End. I called Justin (
Samberg) and he quickly responded and said he’ll send me the proper mounting flange and u-joint. His service is great and I recommend him to anyone looking to do this swap or a V8 swap on an E36.
Since I’ll be dropping the diff during the swap I figured I’d pick up some new Polyurethane Diff bushings by SuperPro. I got these from
J-Auto at a great price and they were in stock! J-Auto is a great source for chassis bushing pieces, or any other performance or aftermarket piece. He is the man to go to for any bushing swaps also.
Pictures of the driveshaft, bushings to come in the next post as well as the Radiator/Air Filter kit when it comes in soon. Until then, see you guys next time
