Mykk's BMW V8 T-bucket, version 1.5:

That is a beautiful engine. I admire your skills. I can barley do anything to an vintage chevy engine way above my pay grade.

I'm thankful there is no demand for these engines and there are so many of them produced, I pick them up for a couple hundred bucks and you see I don't tear into the rotating assembly. All the shiny new bits are Ebay & Amazon.

I think we are witnessing an epic build thread here, folks! For me this ranks right up there with Choppinczech's roadster body build. One for the archives.

I finally finished mounting my radiator and making my fan shroud. Which allowed me to set the engine and trans back 1 1/8" to where it should be. I've been having to look at my mock up engine set too far forward for weeks and it was driving me nuts. I should have a 1 1/4" gap between a short water pump and the fan.

I'm also changing my trans crossmember. I'm running oval exhaust tubing under the body and it'll pass through the crossmember. I'll finish welding it up tomorrow.

I agree with @Spanky - Love watching this build coming together.
Way above my knowledgebase to be able to do this!
