Care to share details on your engine? Jetting on the 38/38's? Exhaust? It looks like you used the b35 exhaust manifolds.

Making a center console/armrest/drink holder.
front section will have a removable drink holder(2), to access the emergency brake handle. Arm rest is hinged to the rear with storage compartment underneath. Armrest has seat center original embossed vinyl with black leather sides. The rest of the console will be sewn black leather covered, including the removable drink holder section.
USB ports will be installed in front angled area of armrest support panel (angle matches a/c control panel angle) and on the rear of console as well.

Prototype removable wing windows.
So far stable to 80mph.
Will move ahead on finished design.

Great work. If you get to the point where you are satisfied with your wing windows and care to make more I may be interested in a set.

Wing windows are highly underrated.. They cool the interior by what feels like 10 degrees. As a Floridian, I love them

Motor mounts are on.
Accessories bracket is on.
Throttle linkage is on. Next change the flywheel.

Hi there!

Nice job!

I am doing the same... When you pulled the old engine, did you pull it without removing the transmission? Any tips are appreciated.

Cheers
Bill

All together. If you have lifted chassis high enough and have the ability to tip the whole thing down I n the back as you lift.

The stock B35 oil filter has a check valve in it. I would make sure there is one in the oil filter you use. I had a top bolt filter with no check valve and it took a while to get oil pressure when I started the motor. I changed to a filter with the internal check valve and the situation improved significantly.

I found and bought a top bolt oil filter housing (‘84 E24). Cuz I’ve forgotten how silly the original E3 bottom bolt oil filter is to change.

How does the check valve work?

I was going to buy one locally for $60 but it did not have check valve. Why do some have the valve and others do not (same part # as far as I can tell)?
