INSTALLATION:
B58 engine swap includes an oil filter relocation kit. This kit allows for installing an external oil cooler and helps streamline the cooling system. The relocation kit provides a more effective way to manage oil temperatures and improves accessibility for oil changes. It typically includes the necessary hardware and hoses to reroute the oil filter to a more convenient location, making it a valuable addition to the swap setup.
When installing the B58 engine in the E36/E46, a rear sump pan and shaving down the 2 fins on the transmission pan are required. This modification ensures enough clearance for the stock cross member and the steering shaft, which can interfere with the engine's fitment. It's highlighted as a straightforward task while the engine is out of the car.
A small boss on the steering rack must be trimmed during the B58 engine swap in the E46. This modification ensures adequate clearance for the new engine and prevents interference with the installation.
