[Farbin Kaiber]

I think we could work out a wonderful trade!

And, I think that price is a bit high, but I know things are a bit more pricey here than they were in SoCal.

A few helpful links

I don't know if you have seen this or not but I ran across it on KSL yesterday could be just what you are looking for enginewise.

That link got me thinking about doing the same but I just don't have the extra money right now to make it happen. Some other interesting reading for you that may be helpful.

Good luck I would love to stop by and see what you decide to do. I have been thinking about doing a swap myself, my car just turned over 215K but it still runs great so for now I will keep the M20.

the milage is high its 225k thats why i need to do the engine. the engine is destroyed but runs a bit i have a suspension work done and some other small things done i have owned it for 3 years i am 25 and it is my first bmw

[Farbin Kaiber]

It's an 87 325iS, right? How about some info. What is the mileage? Does it run in it's present state? How long have you owned it? How old are you? Is this your first BMW?

[drewpackard]

i will post the pics when i get home from work today. that will be in a few hours.

So, if you have to paint too, I'm thinking sport interior, coilovers, m52+zf, wheels/tires, and you are about spent.

Again, I suggest you start looking at members rides threads, project forum threads, and start to find what look, and requirements you are looking for. Then start to decide what you really want to do. How about you post some pictures of what you are starting with?

[drewpackard]

i want it for track racing as well as street legal the combination of the 2 will be a hard fit. i want a inline 6 the 10 gs has to cover paint extra parts interior work wheels and alot more. its not that i think i know what i am doing cause obviously i am seeking advice. i have a shop through a friend of mine. i can work there but doesnt mean i know everything about doing this.

[Dj Buttchug]

okay well in that case it all depends on how much you want to spend and youre final goals. What do you want to use the car for? How much work and fabrication are you willing/capable of doing. How much power? comfort and drivability?

with 10gs you can do alot. refine your options a little bit. V8? inline 6? a bmw powerplant?
the options here are endless...

[Farbin Kaiber]

You have a shop? Nevermind, I was offering to do the swap for you because you sound kinda like someone that has no idea what they are getting into. Now, I see you think you know what you are getting into, so I'll change my response to...

[drewpackard]

everyone doeas the m50 and i have already done one of those with my cousin into his car i want something faster then that i was thinking the s52 or s54 its going to be alot of work but i have a shop and a few guys to help. i want to know what people have done so i can find there personal pros and cons. i want to hear what they like and what makes it better or worse to do the swaps

[Dj Buttchug]

What would a 1jz engine cost and is it going to be a pain i'm the ass to fit into the car

for you i now retract my previous comment and recommend an m50 swap.
