How hard are the headers to fit onto an LHD car? They are an absolute c*nt to do on an RHD car, even with an E36 steering rack.
definately not for the faint of heart. they hit the fire wall (divit 1") , they hit the front subframe (notch reweld), hang down too low (my opinion), hit the sway bars.....big time (shorter sway links), and hit the c.a.b. (treehouse ones will work). i make a 2 into 1 collector and then custom all the way to the exit.
no dyno numbers. but it pulls like a freight train..... all...... the..... way...... up...... near.... 8k rpm. my old obd1 s52 seemed to flat spot around 6k. definately lost umph around 7. dyno numbers may not really be a good indicator. the motor "feels" so much nicer. throttle response, smoothness, .....everything.
Most S52 dyno graphs show that the torque curve falls pretty quickly after 6k, even with mild cams, so that was probably the feeling you were getting! :)

thats what happens when you stroke a motor.
i did notice shift points are a LOT different with this motor. at the track, a number of fast turns posed difficult to keep the rpms below 7200. some turns i had to enter in 4th just to keep the exit rpms lower. but in the s50b32.....hammer in 3rd, apex at 6000, track out 7500, then shift. man, i love this motor.
