one of the AC lines had to be modified.

we ended up using a piece of ac hard line from a E30 (the only thing from a e30 that will ever be on my car lol) to add length to the e36 line as well as cut and reweld the line at a different angle.

after a few welds and pressure testing with AC equipment we fond a leak and repaired the leak and another pressure test and vacuum test left over night showed the system holding 25 inches of mercury over night no problem.

i have some new pictures now.

motor is in. had more items that had to be modified :sigh

lower radiator hose didnt fit now so had to fab up a cutom hard pipe so thats done.

had to move the AC drier forward to free up the hole so we could fit the charge pipe off the compresor housing. in the pictures it looks close to the wheel but we have clocked the wheel and lowered the car all the way and it clears no rubbing. whew and it happens to go right to the hot side of the intercooler perfect.

had to redo the intercooler bracket to fit the new electric fan so now that fits.

down pipe and dump tube from WG routed back into down pipe at a slight angle done.

all thats pretty much left is to connect the down pipe to the rest of the exhaust and finish the cold side of the charge piping.

have to pump the 6 month old 93 octane gass out and put in fresh gas.

motor has already been primed along with oil feed line we have turned the motor over with the starter and it spun quite nicely with 7 quarts of 30 weight oil.

will change oil at 100 miles, 500 miles, 1000 miles and then 3000 miles put in my standard weight oil

Sunday is the day we should be finished! ill cross finger.
