sick project by the way... get her running and then boost it!
It had 175k on the clock when we started, I want to reset the odometer though, since so much of it will be new. I wanted this to be done a month ago so I'd have time to get the interior done, hopefully it'll at least be back together in time for the show next week.Alpha Team Inductee

I can tell you that with the instructions from the LS1e30 guys and their parts kit on hand, this was still an extremely difficult (and expensive, unfortunately) project. I can't say if it'd be easier to do a BMW motor, but just be prepared to spend more than you'd like to and have it take longer as well.
If you're thinking LS1 on an early e30, their guide is spot on, but there are enough changes between theirs and a 1991 318iS, and a TON of changes between the LS1 and LS3, that it was more difficult than we had thought it'd be.Alpha Team Inductee
