Then stumbled upon this at a local JY

Did you just say $540 after taxes? For a complete s54 and gear box? That's just theft. Check out r3vlimited for technical advise and wiring. That's were all the s5x engines disappear in e30 engine bays.

Awesome I will. I haven't had the time to look into that just yet. This will save me a lot of time searching for the right info

Ronal turbo Wheels are so awesome!What size are they??
Both Wheels and engine have redicolus prices, where do you get all that stuff?:p

Jack is sleeping with the chubby chola cashier at the junkyard to get his hookups.
 
**** you got the steal of a lifetime on that motor and trans. Also dont lose those center caps on the ronals. They are quite hard to come by.

super stoked to see where this is going to go.

Nice to see CJ's shell is coming back to life.
I still need to pick it up from him. I wasnt expecting to buy another car while at the show... It will have to wait two more weeks. I'm going hunting this week to Idaho.
