motocaddy's e36 vert build

Ughhh. Love this thing man keep up the good work.

Do you happen to have the length of the trans from the bellhousing to the shifter assembly? My diesel has a knock, and a 302 + T5 sounds appetizing.

saw that ^

and not that much ****, just a few narrow minded keyboard warriors. don't let it getcha down, its a job well done.
I also like the one guy who said the front dress weighs as much as an LSx, 5.0 is actually lighter than even an aluminum LS with dress; however LS is a better motor.
showed this to a buddy looking at an E36 shell, he's stoked on a 5.0 swap now lol

Yeah, I actually enjoyed the negative comments. The build makes me super happy, so no worries what others think. Seems like most people love the build and I've also been getting a lot of positive reactions. The LS is definitely a better motor, but this swap was immensely cheaper and still has some legit power potential.

I saw the Mayday garage re-post on my facebook wall about this car and I had to re-check the build thread. Dude, I most definitely want to see this thing in person, shit even get a ride in it

Congrats on getting this project done with so much attention to detail, mad props!

Yeah, now that I'm done building it, I'm just trying to get out there to drive and show it off. I bet you'll see me out and about soon.

Here's the pics from Mayday Garage:

At idle, my cute hairdressers' car sounds like a cammed-out cigarette boat and, when I get on it, it sounds super gnar.

I fucking lol'd.

Congrats man! All that work has paid off.

Glad to see the 302 in this. I'm looking forward to seeing some good burnouts

Your should bring it to cars and coffee this saturday! Ill be there with m3 and fresh paint job and a buddy's estroil blue m3.. not to mention my wifes e36

I might. I'd have to get my wife to drive it, as I was planning on taking my school's 550hp Mustang. If my car is there, it'll be parked with Hennessey, so you shouldn't miss it.

Definitely. I'm so over working on it and now plan on driving and showing it off as much as I can.

AMAZING!!!!!! I must see and ride in real life, awesome job man, what does the wifey think?

Thanks! I'm all about giving rides, so we'll make it happen. The wife loves it. She just wants to learn how to drive it better, so she can get in on burnout action.

Ben this amazing, you really went above & beyond with how clean the swap is. Watching the last video I couldn't stop grinning with how amazing it sounds during pulls. Supersized jelly over here, well done sir!

Thanks, dude! I was really critical of it as I was building it, but happy with how it came together. There's lots of things people will never see that make it a pretty solid car. It really helped to finish it at our shop, so I had no excuses not to do things right. I want to clean up the wiring harness (which I bought from someone else), but otherwise everything is as clean as I can do it, which feels good.

This I like.... must see in person.
