Im getting to the point where I want more power. Looking around and trying to figure out which would be the best route to go with. Im not in rush but need to start soon. I cant make up my mind, kind of leaning towards the s50/52 but also wouldnt mind going with the m60. Where is a good place to start looking for motors/engines etc?

While not trying to thread jack and on the same subject. What's a good approx cost of a decent S50 swap? I know it can vary depending on what I get the motor for etc, but just a ball park. Assuming all the work was done by me?91 318is M50 swapped

eBay.
Craigslist.
BimmerForums.
E30tech.
Here (I think there's a search button or some shit)
Google.
...read, read, read and then read some more...not kidding
The options are endless-
M50's are quickish, simple, and cheap. (est. $1,500-$2,000)
S50/52's are an easy swap, quick, fun, but more expensive though. (est. $3,000-$4,000)
M60's will be fast, complicated, and expensive. (est. $5,000)
LS1/LS2 will be insane, expensive, complicated, yet doable. (est. $8,000)
It all depends on how experienced and resourceful you are. Obviously swaps can be done for cheaper than what I listed above, but I'd rather overestimate and have the budget to complete the project rather than start it with insufficient funds.Last edited by Rsully70sev; 08-24-2011, 01:56 AM.
