E36 Five Oh Swap

[oHSo EuRo]

nice project! So much work though, just to be under 300 hp? hmm. I don't know, I feel like an m3 engine would have given you those easy and is a way easier swap.

Still, this 5.0L v8 is 50 times higher on the "cool" scale! Nice going!!

Maybe easier but much more expensive than what I did.

Wait an m3 engine would still be more expensive than this v8 swap? dang.

Cant wait to see videos of this doing massive burnouts and other v8 shenanigans

Few small things to sort out and put back together. Cage is in and mocked up just not bolted down.

So what are you gonna do for exhaust? Those open shorties are robbing you of some power my dude. Also I imagine more than five minutes in that would be exhausting on the ol' ear drums.

Fuck yeah burnouts

Once I find an o2 harness I'm gonna get an exhaust made.

I daily drove my open header 5.0L e30 for over a year haha. Plenty of 4+ hour trips.

It's not as loud as you'd imagine.

Props on that one homes, I tried on fox bodies and couldn't make it out of the neighborhood. Shit was loud and everything was vibrating so badly I thought a door may fall off, haha. Also I'm old and stuff now and I think my days of loud exhaust are long gone.

Losing power with open headers. I wanna squeeze what I can out of this and I'm gonna run hoodless for a bit and if a cop looks in my bay and doesnt see an exhaust. That can be a $10,000 fine for me lol

[DeltaAlpha9]

Anymore engine bay shots?
