great work. but its no longer bmw where it counts:(

Yes, because the SOHC 12v inline 6 from the 70's is such an amazing machine!

[MR 325]

As I said on bfc...

Amazing work guys, seriously top notch. I plan to build an LS1 E30 myself one day and this thread has been very interesting and helpful! I'm really looking forward to the outcome here and will stay tuned!

Quality job.

Please give short instructions how did you manufacture the shaft between the u-joint on steering shafts.




Is it just a tube or shaft with welded pieces from original shaft of a machined piece?

Badass, incredible swap and amazing work and awesome to see someone doing it at home rather than in a huge shop.
Summitracing, and jegs as well as doug herbert all have those foam mockups I believe, summit and jegs for sure

Damn man, nice work! I love the foam engine mockup, what a great idea for test fitting parts. Where do you get something like that?

we got ours off ebay, but I think you can get them out of Summit. A lot of vendors use them to show their bolt ons at shows if you look closely...

That is how you debate!!!

Very nice.

Nice job. I contemplated doing this myself, but seeing all the work makes me realize that is a project that I am not quite ready to tackle.

Looks like you are doing an awesome job. Cant wait to see some video, and the finished product

HOLY SHIT! i love you! my friend danny will be in touch for sure. Hows the wiring looking? is that going to be a bitch or what?

[Bill-B]

I think I creamed myself

It's nice to see a swap so well thought out. You guys put in quite the effort to get it done right the first time.

I saw this thread somewhere before, but I dont think it was bimmerforums because I never go there.
