The smaller pipe is to go to the coolant bottle. I use a early type bottle but any will do.
and yes capping the oil top is fine but if you want to swap for a non oil cooler cap I will be happy to

From the other thread now id say thats definatly an E28 engine with the upside oil filter.
On the exhaust side have you got loads of mounting holes in the block for the engine mount to bolt to? got any pics?
Plumbing is pretty much whats said above...

The first pic is (i think) the head number, you need to look for the date stamp, should be one on there somewhere.
Like this circled red here...
Regarding the engine id put my money on it being an early e34 engine, cant remember what the E stands for in the 34 6E B code but the K in the 34 6K B code stands for Katalysor (sp) in other words it means its catalyst ready, ie lower compression, different map etc...iirc E28 engine numbers start with 35 not 34.
Also you said the engine came with a 3.0 manifold, did you buy this engine from up my way (Kingswinford) off a guy called Jamie? does it have a modified sump?
I think i may know it.
