Questions about a possible auto trans, engine swap
Hey everyone I have a couple of question about a possible engine swap with an automatic transmission. There is a car for sale locally that is very clean with low mile that I'm considering buying it's an automatic 325i coupe. I do want an automatic (don't judge me), and was wondering if I could swap in a ls1 or other BMW v8. I know there is a strong possibility that the stock automatic transmission will not hold up so what are my other options as far as engines go. I don't want to swap in a manual so thats out of the question. Do you guys think I should just have the stock engine/trans rebuilt, find a different engine such as a stronger v6, or should I just mate a v8 with the auto trans. Also are there any option as far as auto transmission that I could buy that could Handel the v8's power.
