The Indiana 5.0 Swap

[Lebstanka]

I've been waiting on a lot of parts, but heres my budget so far if anyone is interested in how much this costs from scratch. so far the project has cost me $15,392.55. anything that is not boxed in the picture below is something I do not have. suggestions welcome!

$100 for a fuel cell? You better add another 0.

Well if it costs that much I give up. My budget is 4k lol

Gonna be ghetto as fkkkkkk

You could get away with a decent swap with 4k. 1k Jy motor and tranny. Spend rest of the cash on the swap stuff like pedals/mcs/pedal mount, slave mount, and exhaust/headers. Prob a good rad/fan setup wouldnt be a bad idea either.


Parts list looks good. Keep us updated

For the rear make sure you go to jagsthatrun.com to get the diff flange for custom driveshafts.

My free advice: don't do the turbo setup. A turbo 5.0 will have a hard time making less than 400 HP, which is a lot in an E30. I'd save the hassle and expense and do a nice 300 RWHP build, which doesn't take much.

If you can "make it rain wit dem benjamins" I'd do the turbo. I mean, 302's right, it's pretty pointless, especially if you don't have beefy axles and tons of tire. But regardless, I'd love an extra 100-150 wheel whorepower :)

Lmaooo @ "make it rain" idk tho it would take a shit ton of tire and rear in for the turbo set up. Plus drive-ability is in question. Hey what slave cylinder are you guys using/ recommending again?
