Ive been reading this post since the beginning and it's been like reading a book except it has pretty pictures to go with it. It's an E30, swapping in an s54 with SMG paddles and all, these guys are sharp, MIT graduates. They walk you through the entire swap and their documenting skills are just as good as their mech skills. I was enthrawled the entire time, set aside about 3hrs and check it out.

yeah, it amazes me the talent these kids have, his last swap before this one was an S54 into an E46 323...check this one out when your done atl530.

"I actually don't know how to do a engine install...but I didn't know what a supercharger was either...Hopefully by the end of all of this I'll know the E46 down to each screw and bolt..."

this was his first swap ever
