EDITT: Sorry for the mess my pictures made, it wouldnt even let me edit it for a while, all is fixed now. enjoy.
Hey guys, I bought an e36 a few years ago, swapped in a junkyard 302 with trickflow top end kit, TKO600, megasquirt, and much much more. Eventually the junkyard motor ate itself and had no bearings left. This was where things got a bit out of hand, I ordered a built dartblock 347 shortblock to put my trickflow heads+intake on, had a custom turbo cam made, got a Turbonetics 78/75 ball-bearing turbo and went to work fabricating. As of now this thing is sooooo close to being good to go, If i made a big push i could probably make it turnover and run in a weekend but i need to get some custom axles for the 8.8 conversion and do some more fabrication before i can actually drive it. When going through pictures i realized i forgot to mention that It has e46 330 brakes. I will put up more pictures later but as to not leave you hanging, here are a few:

So to deal with the added power I decided to go with an 8.8 IRS rear end. I got an empty IRS cobra shell, a cheapo explorer diff, and a rebuilt trak-lok clutch pack lsd unit. I had this all put into the cobra case by a local shop and it should have a rear end ratio of around 3.50, this should work well with my tko as its the shorter gear ratio version and the 3.91 188mm lsd I had in it when it was N/A was not that fun, it needed longer legs. Here are some pics of the rear subframe, the adjustable arms, and some of the chopping i had to do. Theres also a pic of the DSS inners that i got, i need to measure for my outers still. I know the adjustable rear arms are el-cheapo, a large desicion in buying these was that they were made out of a material and design that was easiest to modify, i had no idea what after market products would fit my new mount locations. Enjoy some pictures.








And im going to sneak a lil non BMW content in here, These are some of my other rides to give you an idea of my kind of stupid. AW11 is 4agze swapped , then i took of the charger and turbo'd it, A2W intercooler, megasquirt etc. W123 wagon is pretty much stock just slammed, i also saved it from the junkyard since it didnt run and was a rusty s-box. I have a problem so all the cars you see are mine, carcaines a real thing. Everything you see is a diesel except for the bmw and aw11.
