Well, as of 6:30pm, exactly 47 hours after i drove a running m20 car into my garage, I have a running m50 sitting before me. This is great. I still need to work out what i will do with the exhaust, but as of right now, im just super happy. The few pictures that i took will be uploaded and posted here in a bit, probally after i button up the wiring and everything.
Here is a video of the 2nd start up. She started up first try though after about 4 seconds of cranking.

Here is a quick shot of the transmission mount i modified for use with the 260 tranny, and e21 mounts.
Thanks, ive been out there for a bit today putting on the stuff that makes the motor look cleaner.
Today was a great day, I got my oil cooler buttoned up using most of the e30 lines and cooler, I had some fittings lying around and some hose that worked out nicely, so i didn't have to spend any money getting that all fitted up. Having access and the ability to TIG weld opens so many possibilities. On that note i also modified the m52 headers so i could take the car to an exhaust shop tomorrow and get the old header back temporarly put on. That was super easy as all i had to do was cut the front header and rotate the flange about 30 degrees.
And since everyone loves pictures, here are a few.
