thanks all!!
No other plans for the engine right now. A LS1 is stock form is a lot of power to begin with. If I get bored with the power I can always upgrade later. First step is to get it in the car and running.... I want it to be very factory like, ac, etc etc
Yes same jake.
No need to get into it car was sold as-is, and I even gave you some money back in good faith.
Let's stay on topic. Good luck with your build. Excited to see more than one LS1 e28.

just a small update.....more will happen tomorrow.
Got the garaged cleaned up some and the e28 up on the lift.
Engine came out (it had half an m30 in it, head was gone)
had to make a scrap run (m30, old m10, more random camaro parts)
The GTO oil pan will get swapped on tomorrow and the LS1 will get dropped in. I did some simple measurements and it looks like with the shifter in the middle of the console opening the heads will be in front of the brake booster. I have a remote booster from a e34 540 if needed but I will start with trying to keep the stock booster.
I have decided to drop both the front and rear subframes and have everything powder coated. The first stage will be to have ALL the mechanical bits of the car refreshed.
The firewall insulation is pretty beat up (what do you expect for an 85). A new one is NLA so I need to figure out if I want to just leave it or replace with something different. Any suggestions?
On to some pictures.
The lab...
The patient
Old m30
It's new heart
It's new home
I normally take a bunch of other random pictures so as I am sitting on the couch and need to figure something out I have pictures to reference. They all get dumped here for this project. w www.theguestroom.net/e28 w Feel free to check them out.
Nice build!
