Hey chaps,

Could anyone give me some pointers on stuff I will need from an E32 740i when I go to collect the engine?
Everything is there except the g'box. I was told I could have the radiator, the ECU, the air flow meter, the accelerator cable, the radiator and anything else I need.

Any ideas, like fuel tank and pump or drive shafts or anything? Im not too sure, hence the question!

Cheers fellas

engine, ecu , loom, rad although chassis legs need cut to fit so a 535 is a better option. afm, .

brake booster , pipes and sphere . if not using a sevo . zuast manifolds although no good you gan use the flanges
throttle cable .

Probaly other useful stuff but cant think at teh mo

i assume u mean the rubbers ?

original i suppose.

dont know if it really matters as you need to make mounts anyway.

most m30 cars have e30 rubbers and are fine . engine is a similar weight to m30

cheers bigdek, i think i'll take virtually everything I can and just turf the rest once I've sorted through it all.
I'm not getting the motor until next weekend, just to prolong my agony even more, doh!
