    E36 LS2 Swap video - you asked for it

    Original fun version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CmjtGYekx0

    A friend of mine made this for me; it is a little less serious than most of these sorts of videos. I apologize for the size, but that is the best i could do.

    Enjoy.....

    Minimally edited version of most of the driving with the original sounds. If you like the sound of a rev limiter getting a workout this one is for you. It will put you to sleep but people kept asking.....

    Funny video.

    But you should have at least stopped or paused the music when you first started the car. We all want to hear the engine!

    Any chance of you uploading some videos of the car in motion with no music?

    Hey, I liked the music. Garret has been forcing me to listen to K. West while work on our car. I think you'll probably hear some: ......."drive slow, Homey"......... when he makes a video

    I didn't make the video, a friend of mine spent a lot of time putting it together and if he likes the music and wants to call it a LS1 I don't care It makes me laugh every time I see it, just like the car makes me laugh every time I drive it

    I am jealous of the lift as well, it is not mine. I used the lift when I built the exhaust, but the rest of the swap was done on jack stands in my garage.

    I will tell you that using a lift is highly addictive; I have a hard time laying on my back in the garage now

    The editing must have taken a long time. You guys must have had a bunch of footage...

    It's all CGI. Rao doesn't have the skills to do an engine swap.

    Yesssssss. Yessssss. Y. E. S.!

    Sorry, went into Dane Cook mode for a second. Dude, that video is awesome. Tell your buddy thanks for putting it together for all of us. Then ask him politely to render one without any music at all for those of us who want to hear the beast. Please.
