shut your pie hole.

Well since you're building a drag car, you might as well chop the front fender wells and run Strange struts. You'll have a ton of room for the turbos!

FYI - the Modular Ford motors and the BMW V8s are very similar dimensionally. The bore spacing on the BMWs is 98mm, and the Fords are 100mm.

here are some pics from today. we tied the crossmember into the rocker panel with a 1/8 inch steel plate.

Why the ford engine and not an LS1 or LS2 or is it no one has put a ford V8 in E30 before?

props... thats why i wanna run a 6.1 hemi no ones done it (some day).. Well as long as you turbo the 4.6 it makes sense other wise I wouldnt see the point an s52 would be just as good.
