V8 swap thread

[coolasacuc]

look im done here. this thread is not about this at all, and the guy who started this thread hasent even posted because me & a couple off asses (myself included) are in a little argument over nothing really that valid. What i said to slow E30 was inappropriate and i ignored his direct rudeness the first time. the second i got defensive, and to everyone else, i know that swaps are a great enhancement, i was just being difficult, and i was on the rag.

no but really, im sorry guys for whomever ive offended or just pissed off. i have been a real dick lately to others because of my own problems. anyone here that loves the BMW E30 in any form is obviously an alright individual.
Cheers

Ls1 is 50/50 if you read the post above the ls1 wieghts less then a m50. That was my point. Also the V8 sits farther back having more wieght in the middle of the car.

i did not know that, thats pretty cool.

Yeah I was surprised about that too. I talked to garret awhile back about this and he said he wieghted his car and it was 50/50 or along those lines.

holy shit... thats actually really cool. all i care about is being able to turn so thats why im usually so against swaps but thats not a bad deal getting 5.7 liters and increasing distribution ratio.

by the way, when i say swaps, i picture like the crazy ones that make a small car go fast in a straight line. what we do at R3v is more like an upgrade. the motors are so interchangeable because there so similar and we get to benifit from the evolution or BMW engineering.

m50's don't weigh 430 lbs.. Just going to throw that out there since it was wrongly stated, and then used as fact in this argument

Nope, find a early 60's aluminum block slant six then put an hyper pack on it. :pimp:
