Love it or hate it...

meh, I don't see the appeal.

[CrusherCurtis]

awesome! How much?

Dude, as long as your happy with it. I was going to do a v8 swap, but I didn't end up doing it.

Faster than your mom :giggle:

[E30SPDFRK]

Lol at everyone telling him what he should have done differently. If you took the time to read the 3 sentences he wrote above the pictures you'd see that he bought it the way it sits.

Too bad it's still slow Jeffy ;)

[kamotors]

Nice!

Judging by that video it sounds pretty horrible. Put some Flowmasters on that thing it it will sound AMAZING.

Actually I've put a Magnaflow on it since that video and I love the way it sounds now! Held a Flowmaster up to it before that and it was too tinny sounding on this setup (no resonator, no cat). Now it has great tone.

[N2MYE30]

Cool car. Just clean it up and you'll be doing just fine. :up:

[Mr. Tasty]

Don't understand why people are talking about how dirty in the engine bay is. He probably just finished the swap and hasn't cleaned anything up yet. It is a cool swap.

401!!!!
I think i remember seeing this on craigslist a while back

[MR 325]

Absolutely awesome! Doing a V8 swap isn't redneck if it's done nicely. Looks like you've got some cleaning up to do but seems like a great starting point to me! I had a 88 Volvo 740 with a 5.0 in it for a while.

Judging by that video it sounds pretty horrible. Put some Flowmasters on that thing it it will sound AMAZING.

[Jhonno]

Awesome sleeper!

[JPlue]

Nah unfortunately the guy was kind of a redneck (understandably considering the swap). He pretty much acquired the 318 as a commuter and said "well, I have this 5.0 here..."

He got most of his info from e30v8.com though, pretty cool site for V8 swaps. I'm definitely having fun with it

Someone had to do the work, didn't they? I didn't ask for his build thread, just a build thread for the car.

Haha, very true, didn't mean to sound like a dick. I'd love to see one also, but I highly doubt there will be one...
