V8 swap thread

nah m62+e30=cooler and with German quality

I am not going to say m62 isn't cool...but even "edge motorwerks" (i think that's who it was with an e36 autocross/track car) ditched the m60 in favor of ls1. it's not like they didn't have money to tune the m60, this was after they already did the swap too..it's just ls1 is compact, huge aftermarket support and is a better value etc :)

For a price ($150), you can get a book from the father/son duo that swapped an LS1 in thier e30. It covers the whole process, supposedly very complete.
