Dammit can't wait till my M60B44 is all button up and ready to be back on the streets.Leave a comment:

Thanks!
Paid $400 for the engine with 78k miles and all it needed were plugs and gaskets. M60's are very reliable engines.
Got them on eBay, just type "Cipher Racing Seats" in search and you'll find a whole bunch of variants they make. Seat position is the same since I modified my E30 rails to fit these seats. I don't DD this car, but so far they've been very comfortable.Leave a comment:

Sorry if this has been asked, but what seats are those? Do they sit lower than your stock ones and how are they for DD?Leave a comment:

Thanks y'all.
No cats, x-piped, two small resonators mid-pipe, and a Magnaflow muffler. Check out my build thread for pictures, I had gotten it from a r3v member who was parting out his M60 swap.
My motor is the 3.0L variant of the M60, with higher compression at 10.5:1. The sound is definitely unique compared to the M60B40.
Ah makes sense. Awesome build. Wish you could get that note out of a b40.Leave a comment:

+100 for M60 in a 4 door!
-1000 for plastics on an early model.Leave a comment:

Thanks brotha!
Yeah haha, cutting it saved so much time. I'm leaving that shit notched in case I gotta pull the out motor out again someday.Leave a comment:

Not gonna say exactly how I spent since I don't want to deter others from attempting this swap, but roughly 3-$4k is a good start. That'll be parts alone if you go the Garagistic method like I did. But you can certainly do it for cheaper if you have the tools and fabrication skills to do it.Leave a comment:

Sounds good mate!
oh, lol at the notched front rad support. I did the exact same to get that big ass motor in there. I need to clean mine up a bit.Leave a comment:

That's awesome..I plan on doing a v8 swap this winter, how much would you say you have into the swap? And how high does she rev;)It was dirt cheap, low mileage, and the cool factor of having a high reving, 3.0L V8 in an E30 allured me. Everyone whose heard it in person falls in love with the sound, some comparing it to an Italian V8.
Plus, she's fast like a bat outta hell. Power is not far from what an S52 feels like.Leave a comment:
