Tempting!!! (V8 parts content)

Yep, they just finally put that on the market after many months of testing. You'll need the various special tools to do the vanos seas....big pita.

nice! yeah I heard something was in development, didn't hear that it was on the market now. Even so, huuuge PITA doing VANOS, it would be a lot easier to just bolt on non-vanos heads, or get a non-vanos engine.

Beisan Systems sells a seal kit.

Not sure what the common failure modes are on the m62 VANOS units, maybe that doesn't help.

As far as I know, no one manufactures a VANOS rebuild kit for the M62, and brand new complete VANOS units would cost more than your entire swap otherwise.

You just need to modify the propshaft - piece of cake really

Not really... modifying a driveshaft is definitely an involved (and expensive) process.

M62 with VANOS is a great and silent engine, though most probably you would need to replace vanos units and whole timing end (which you should do with normal M60 swap as well)..

yo i really need DME and EWS how much if u still have it !!!! i cant crack my AUTO dme yet

[Jonsku]

Nevermind on that question. I looked at your thread again and, yeah, the 6spd looks like a PITA

Nothing special with the 6-speeder. You just need to modify the propshaft and shift linkage - piece of cake really.

6 speed makes the swap more more expensive and difficult, but definitely worth it for the wow factor.

Custom driveshaft?
What are the other main things that need to be done to incorporate the 6 speed?

Well, see what he wants for the trans. Honestly I wouldn't pay over a grand for it - I know someone that sells M5 420Gs for $800. If you want to do the M6X frankenmotor, pm me. I have a B44 block.

I still have the whole M62b44 NV in pieces, so if you want the whole thing, let me know.

If this is some thing you really want to do. I would start hording parts now.
First thing i got was the motor and have been looking for part sense.
Good luck.

[MattAvino]

The motor got sold. But everything else is still available.

[Vtec?lol]

if you have the time to deal with water cooled alternators, vanos rattle (it's very embarrassing at start up) then go for it.

[MonkeyMadness]

Fuck it, your not the first to use it and your not going to be the last.
Build it and enjoy it...
