Very slow Alpina 4,6l V8 swap

Fantastic,,,,

Why dont you use Studs,,, ,, IMO it is the best way when you have an aluminum block

i like the ITB idea,,, this conversion should be done more often on a M/6x swaps

light smoothing and pistons are ready for installation.
Now pistons accept cams lift with good safety marginal.

[jannmann]

So less time to make anything..
Get some 4,6is X5 pistons to test fit in my block.





Don't notice that arrow in piston.. I know it's wrong way.
i only measured how much that piston comes over deck. (0,06mm less than Alpina piston)


Very differend bolts in X5 vs. std M60/earlyM62 bolts.

Are you putting the S62 throttles on to the 4.6l M60?

Take some time and started to modifie plenum for mold making.





All crankcase ventilation stuff have to go.
Now i have to close all holes, paint it and make mold.
I only wish i have more time :(

Today i get engine mount bushings.
Those are direct copy from e30 M3 GR-A engine mounts.
Very clever desing.



In this pic you can see original desing.
