That's good to hear. On my E36 swap, I had to move the ABS out of the way and use a different steering piece to get it to work with the LS swap headers.
Are the diffs on the v8 E53s an LSD? I don't think so right? I still need to look into what diffs from other cars would be a bolt in swap for the E53 rear subframe.
