Very cool

I've been considering an 5.3L alloy truck motor to put in my E36. Other engine I've been considering is a 1UZ-FE. HP/$ the LSX motors seem to be pretty hard to beat though for the ~400WHP N/A HP I'm looking for.

 

wow.. i recently bought a clean E46 330D.
But nice to see other old clean Bimmers.

 

keeping it....

 

Why selling it so soon?

 

how much are you looking to get?

 

Got a baseline done. Should have went LS3 from the start!

 

that thing is sweet!

 

That is so re-diculously SWEET!!!
I can't imagine the sound of that motor ever getting old.
Great work man!
Love it.

 

thats really cool. im surprised its so quiet (maybe its just the vids) but that would make a sweet dd

 

This car is on my bucket list.

 

Thanks guys.

The video makes it seem quieter than it really is. It is not terribly loud, but not quiet either. Just somewhere in between.

 

You are quite the visionary! I just picked up an LS3 and a Pat G. spec'd Comp Cam. I should have some updated numbers soon after the latest swap.

 

Very cool. I've wanted to do a swap just like this in a techno-violet sedan for quite some time now. I didn't know another company besides Vorschlag made a swap kit. How much did it run you?

 

Thanks. All the kits are pretty comparable in price, but the Vorschlag driveshaft is pretty pricey. I saved a few bucks by piecing together parts from GM and BMW at a custom driveshaft shop.

The Samberg kit pricing is on their website here: http://www.sambergperformancefabrication.com/

 

I found a buyer for my LS1, and I picked up an LS3 out of a 2008 Corvette a few weeks ago. Still waiting on springs/retainers/cam gear/pushrods.
