I'll just post em here....

Pics are not awesome. The tweed actually matches the leather really well, despite what the pics show.

Re: The engine was out when I sold it... 3.2 installed

I drove Mellow as my daily driver for quite a while. I bought it as the 3rd owner. The first problem I encountered was reverse gear went out in the 3HP. Then the head gasket blew (or the head cracked).

I bought a 3.2 liter with transmission from CoupeKing in Ca. I had the engine installed in the ...

Re: Now ain't that a crackup....

Because that's not the 77 I was talking about. I was talking about Schmurfenblau... my pastel blue 77 e12.

I wondered about that name.

So, if you sell Mellow.. .will you let me know about the opportunity.

Hmmm, it wasn't Mellow? Weird, because Mellow's downpipes are extended. Now I'm ...

To simplify that mess, the question is, can I remove the thermal reactors, and bolt on a set of manis from an E28 533i or 535i? Will they mate to my stock downpipes?

Dumping thermal reactor, which manifolds to use?

I've got a 77 630csi, that is running an 81 M30B32, with the stock manifold for that engine. I have perfect original exhaust for the 77, except for the reactors. I want to dump the 81 setup, and convery back to the 77 setup, including downpipes.

I "should" be able to use basically any manifolds ...
