I like the car and motor!
nice setup
Looks like that car has a nice big engine bay.
Got some bits powder coated candy bronze. The aluminum was brushed then coated
seems to be more room in the z3 vs the e36. Even the fire wall had the booster tucked in more i think
Those turbos are too small

The Holley valve covers get rid of the steel plates that the coils mount to. Cleans things up alittle. IMG_4491.jpg

Got the mounts from ckpit55. They look great.
And some SS lines for the 996 calipers
Following this very closely, have an LS2 e46 and soon to have my Z3m going under the knife. Keep up the great work!
Thanks. I think for the quality/ price of these mounts it is really hard to beat.
I have been building custom car parts for 15+ years, and when i seen his mounts for the price i decided should not to build my own

Any chance you wouldn't mind sharing your driveshaft length?
Trying to get ahead of this point in the build while I wait for his mounts to arrive! (Bought them after the last post)
I would Forsure, however I'm a long way from installing the motor.
I should be doing that next winter.
I just ordered BTR stage one TT cam, dual springs, titanium retainers, pushrods, and trunion bushing kit.

BTR Stage one TT cam, dual springs/ti retainers, hardened pushrod and bushing style trunion upgrade..... that's all that's new for now.

Rebuilt/powder coated/new pads
nice. I have done a few LS1 swaps into 3rd gen RX-7s. My M roadster is next on the list. Most likely wont go turbo though! in for more.
Sorry got his name wrong.
This is his build

Block and heads ears are back from the machine shop. Time to assemble
Ended up putting stainless exhaust valves in.

great to see some progress! I am about to do a pretty basic LS swap to a friends 93 RX-7 for some extra cash to fund my swap in the M. Any idea on when you are going to start installing parts into the Coupe?
