ted13b 08-28-2008, 11:30 AM M70 into a 635CSI. The engine bay is big enough, and I know it's a big heavy motor that only puts out 300hp, but it would be a cool cruiser!

TheClaw555666 08-30-2008, 08:54 PM my wet dream is a bmw v12 into an E36 coupe body, with 4 turbo's.....hello tube front end....
ofcourse i'm doing the s50b32 swap on my e36 m3
and i've got a plan going for an E30 with a M5/M6 L6 motor. saw a nice dinan 3.8 stroker or something like that on ebay that got me thinking....
and i've been debating another e36 project using either a s54 or a 335 turbo engine....
there are some very creative people on here, i'm loving what some people have come up with

335i Touring 09-23-2008, 02:36 PM I'd love a TVR Cebera with a tweaked LSx of some kind, like the one i saw Sunday just gone at Santa Pod, it was doing 11.8secs 1/4 miles on normal sized road tyres.
He said it'd got to much torque and was struggling for traction, said he was going to upgrade to a wilder cam, fast intake and 90mm TB to help spread the torque a bit.

I like the way you think!
Specifically...
'82 build-date Henna E30 316--->2.6 alloy M50, dogleg, 3.64 etc etc.
'91 318is--->F20C, dogleg, 4.45 etc etc.
'86 325i Sport---->3.9 M88 6spd 3.73
That's just the E30's
digital951 09-23-2008, 11:15 PM M54 > 2002
And i am actually toying with the idea of a slightly modified 4.6 Cobra motor in my e46 ZHP.
Big power + Great handling = Amazing car. If that won't fit then an LSx motor will do.
Anyone have any input?
UtorVita 09-26-2008, 12:49 AM Good thing there are enough E36 M3s floating around in the US. Its sad to see people take an M-motor and replace it with a US V8. Especially when you can make serious power as-is. IMO.
Anyways,
E28 w/ M60(2) V8, supercharged
2002 w/ M42, turbo'd
2002 w/ S14 EVO 2.5L
E30 w/ S50B32, supercharged
E30 w/ S52B32, turbo'd
E30 w/ M60(2) V8, supercharged
I have a list bigger than my body of dream builds.

I like where your head is at! :thumbup: If someone ever put an S65B40 (E9x V8) into a E28 I'd rape them and take it.
MoonLite 09-26-2008, 10:16 AM E30 325ix Touring > S50B32 Supercharged
Now that would be a cool swap i think the supercharger might be overkill but would be bada**
How bout an S54 powered E46Ti nothing crazy just a car and motor that you cant get and in the USA you would never see another one ever.
antiaem 09-27-2008, 07:30 PM i love bmw so everything would have to bmw in bmw and look like it came that way from the factory with no cel s and no idiot lights lighting up like its f-in christmas.
for example.
e30 wagon-w/s52b32 that has been obd1 swapped.
or e34 wagon- w/ 540i m60 and sixspeed.
e30 m3-s52 obd1 swap
and current excursion allready underway is a m42 in my 2002.
eventually i will do an s52 in that also.
also on the ricer front
240sx with a rb
datsun 510 with a turbo 13b or poss. trip. rotor.
last but not least...
big ass truck (maybe even an old taliban 4runner) with 50 cal mount to blow up anything with a roundel and a lsx under the hood.
kramerj 09-27-2008, 07:30 PM blown S50B32 into the M Coupe
S52B32 into the 318is
*sigh* someday...:shifty

AUDI
RS6 BiTurbo V8 ==> B6 or B7 S4
RS6 BiTurbo V8 ==> R8
Lambo V12 ==> R8
any of those are probably a major PITA. audis in gerneral are a pain to work on. too crammy engine bads and complex.
johnnyh 09-29-2008, 12:18 AM a twin turbo'd 383 ls1 or an 408 ls2 w/ a mild cam
t56 on either set up
for the 5.3 vortec post above, might as well go for the 6.0L for just a little more $ and way more torque, unless you already have the 5.3 which is my case as well
attack eagle 10-06-2008, 09:59 PM EFI +supercharged straight 6 +5speed into a 59 or 60-62 Chevy wagon.
but that is many many many years down the road.
I hear the ej25 fits in aircooled bugs/vans
A vw transporter with an ej 25 could be a fun runabout/ parts chaser.
swimstarguy 10-06-2008, 10:48 PM f22c -> e30
LS6 -> 6 CSi
Hayabusa -> go-kart
Can't think of anything that would bring more fun than that.
