Project: Lets confuse the hell out of everybody.

[unevolved]

Dude. I wanna see this happen. Let me know if you need any help.

Very interesting. The biggest problem, or I guess one of many, is how you will deal with vibration issues. It's going to take a hell of a balancing system in order for it to work. Huge props for trying something different.

I have a lot to figure out yet but I thought I would give you a peek at what I will spend my free time working on.

Everything fits well in the pessimistically sized envelope I started with which means it is worth my time to take more measurements and create a more detailed engine bay. ( notched out area is clearance for brake booster and steering linkage)






This is certainly a long-term project as there are a LOT of things left to design and figure out as well as having job, family, and other business to tend to, but I can justify the cost and labor involved in this type of swap much more easily than an S50/S52 swap.

So, sometime in the future I hope to be piloting a stock looking E30 on bottlecaps that sounds like an F1 car; something that will be sure to confuse the hell out of everybody on the road.
