D24T Rebuild and T5 Swap

[BluevanACD2005]

I decided to make a thread to track the progress of my engine rebuild and T5 WC swap. I had been posting pictures here and there, as well as asking a few questions, but wanted to put it all in one place.

So far I have rebuilt the engine, but not fired it up yet. I have been focusing on getting the transmission setup for the D24T and 1983 760. I am very close. I had a custom brass pilot bushing made, I have the custom clutch disk, and I have been working on moving the shifter mount a little further back (pictures below). My plan is to bolt the engine and transmission together, and put them both in the car at once. At that point I will be able to take one final measurement of the length required for the driveshaft, and take it to the machine shop to have it completed. While the driveshaft is gone, I will use that time to hook all the odds and ends up in the car, as well as add the clutch pedal assembly.

I also bought an intercooler and boost gauge to add once I get the major parts back in.
