best engine to swap in (that fits), if money no issue?

[e30s52]

why not LS3? 650hp :) :) :)

Makes the same power but is supercahrged and revs alittle higher then the ls3 with a better powerband :p

I'd swap a s82,from the e90m3,if money was not a thing,haha

[wildstoats]

My money is no object swap? I would swap the chassis to an e92 m3 :p Seriously though if you're just talking ludicrous swaps try one of these babies:

Judd KV675

I have a buddy that's dying to put one of those into an e36.

I must have my LSx's mixed up then, i thought the LS3 was the one out of the ZR1?

How about a race-prepped S62? :evil:

Rolls Royce radial V12 from a fighter plane

How does that work?



LS3 is the 430hp engine from the 09 Corvette, LS9 is the 638hp supercharged LS3 from the ZR1.

I would pic an s85b50 out an 2005 and up M5. They just sound cool

[416stroker]

that would take a lot of work. Youd have to move the firewall way back

[digger]

S70/2 or S85 with dinan stroker kit into an E30 M3

Appx. 160 lbs around 317 shaft horsepower. loud as hell!!!

I wonder what the torque output is... Something makes me think that it might be pretty low compared to the power output. It looks insanely cool though!

[BeirBrennerE30]

fire breathing NA s62 or a turbo s54. For me these were the pinnacle of BMW M
