88-96 V12 (M70) - New guy needs engine information

Hi, I am new here so I don't know if this is in the right section or not. If it isn't maybe someone can direct me to the correct one. I need the dimensions for the bellhousing bolt pattern and crank shaft on a M70 V12. I am making an adapter plate to mate this engine with a different transmission. I am located near Dallas TX so if there is anyone in this area who might have an engine out of the car that I could measure I would really appreciate it. Thank you

contact me offline: scs763(at)aol(dot)com

Does anybody here know how I can contact TxGr8White? He hasn't answered any emails and I lost his phone number when my cell phone died. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Click on his screen name and message him would be the first thing I would try.
He also uses the same screen name at other forums. If he doesn't answer to a message here then message me and I will direct you to other places he can be found. Not polite to send traffic to other forums from this one.

Very considerate TerryY! In a situation like this, feel free to post the name(s) of other sites if necessary.

Well then--the current primary info place is Bimmerforums 8 Series section. Someday it may be here but not yet. The poster referenced was active there today.

I sent him a PM on this forum but haven't had an answer.

Is there anyone else in the Dallas area who has an M70 engine that I could take a look at or even just a flexplate off the engine that I could measure?

I have another question about the later model V12. I believe it is the M73. It has the notches on the flexplate for the crank shaft position sensors. Do the 2 sensors that take reading from these notches have to be a specific number of degrees apart? I am making an adapter to use this engine with a different transmission and need to machine the locations of the sensors into the adaptor.
