just got the 3.5 in, all running but there is nowhere to connect my brake server vac hose to as the engine came out of a e32 which had hydraulic breaks, how have people got around this, i was thinking of finding an e34 535 inlet manifold as that has the take off for it

Don't know what your manifold is like, but I would have thought it possible to tap in a suitable connector somewhere.

You could tap a connection like Brian said or go for the E34 535 manifold like you said, trouble is the manifolds can be a little tricky to find.

i am finding that, i am gonna tap and air tool fitting into the manifold and take it from there, not pretty but better than no breaks
