    4 speed or 5 speed?

    If changing diff ratio don't forget will need the speedo to suit. Mine had a 4.10,but a speedo for a 3.25! So at 100mph was doing an indicated 140ish. I do a lot of highway driving so have gone for the 3.25 with an OD 5 speed, although running a bit more power than stock, on a standard 3.0 a...

    '73 3.0CS - M88 Jerez Schwarz build

    A bit more done, engine harness now located and the ecu and relays under the dash just waiting for final mounting. Famous last words but seems pretty straightforward. A few wires run from the painless harness to the engine harness for the temp gauge, battery charge and pressure lights. This...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Installed the new dual circuit brake servo and made a start on wiring. Please note the environmentally friendly engine mount as I'm still working out lowering the engine so it doesn't smash the hood on full load

    Brackets painted up and the servo sits quite nicely in there. Also moved the header tank over about 20mm and dropped the engine for the linkage to clear the hood. Made a start on the wiring, removing the unnecessary gubbins from the m88 harness which has left me with about 8 wires to connect up...

    Gearbox in, also sorted out the fitment of the new brake servo, twin circuit but only one booster so saves a fair bit of weight and space. Mounts up on the standard brackets with a small adaptor plate. Also shifted the header tank over slightly for more clearance to the plenum. Need to...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Went to clean the garage and ended up dropping in the new heart. Stay tuned for 70 pages of not being able to get her running and ignoring everyone's advice!

    Went in the garage today to clean up the floor a bit to prep for engine install next week. Got bored, ended up slotting the lump in!

    '73 3.0CS - M88 Jerez Schwarz build

    Hardened crank hub fitted. The old one had definitely broken a dowel pin at some point as there was signs it had spun, some scoring on the crank but nothing major, new dowel pin, hub, and revised nut/washer fitted. Also got the flywheel and clutch fitted and the engine mounts. All that's left...

    Fitted up the front speakers. 3.5" rockford fosgate punch 132s. Used these before in another car and they are fantastic speakers for the price and size. Had to "massage" the a pillar hole about 3mm either side with a persuasion hammer as they have quite large magnets for the size. Also cut the a...

    Gearbox all re sealed and ready to go. The IE DSSR makes an incredible difference to the feel. Just waiting on clutch and a few bolts and this should be getting dropped in a week or 2!

    Valve clearances are all spot on and managed to replace the 2 damaged buckets. A huge thank you to @roundel for the assistance. Just waiting on the hardened crank hub and clutch to arrive so those can get fitted, then the engine can get dropped into place!
