V8 powered BMW E36 update!

[Tuner1]

Hey Beyonders,

I haven't posted about my car for a while so I thought it was update time! Since the car is now a BMW and a Chevy I didn't know which section to post this in

The swap was a huge project that took hundreds of hours and lots of creative thinking by the two local guys behind the concept but the end result is nothing short of amazing (don't even bother to ask about the cost!)! The level of fit, finish, refinement and attention to details is better than many 'factory' cars and the performance is amazing!

With an LS1 engine as a starting point you can choose anywhere from 320hp to 1000+hp depending on your goal and budget. I chose a very mild combo that makes ~535hp/500tq and leaves most cars for dead! My buddy is his new F430 has to watch the rear of my stock-looking E36 shrinking in his windshield at a rapid rate

See you at the Race City road course

Where's the engine shot? Looks like any other 3 series with rims, from the side

Sleeper style for sure.
