If any E36 LS swappers need a stainless clutch line that fits the E36 master cylinder, I have one.

I have a brand new DORMAN stainless clutch line (part # 628221) that I purchased new and sent to BRAAP for his modifications to connect to the E36 master, as well as delay valve drilling. This line is brand new never installed with the plastic caps still on the fittings. Also have DEI heat sleeve.

PM me if interested

Yes, it fits the OEM E36 master cylinder (longer type) and fits the T56 where it connects to GM slave. I even have a spare E36 master cylinder I can add to it.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I'm the current owner of the car, and will be putting it up for sale soon.

Car was in great shape when I got it, but the LS3 developed a knock, so I had it completely rebuilt. Car has less than 100 soft break in miles on it now, and is ready for a new owner.

I have too many toys and not enough time/space. I'll put a new post up in the classified section.

I was an interested buyer for this car but have decided to pass on it. Many great things about it, but i suggest any serious buyer check the car out thoroughly.

Gallery of some of the photos i took of it.

Best of luck Dr.V8 and Thank you again for your time!!

BTW, I got the car weighed as it sits now and it came out to 3215 with 1/2 tank of gas. I have not done any weight reduction yet.

ls1fst98, good luck with your swap!

old thread i know, the samberg site now says they use softer mounts. I just picked up a 3.0L Z3 coupe that im looking to do a LS3 swap to. i really like the look of the samberg kit.

hey guys,
I found this forum in my search for a Samberg Subframe for E36 for my brother-in-law's Xmas gift. Sorry to sort of hijack this thread but I'm desperate. Thanks in advance for hearing me out and if you have any information on where to purchase one or if you have one to sell, please let me know! Thanks so much!
