          badass swap, ive wanted to do one for a long time now, but get a set of heads and a cam for the 5.0
          My plan is to get this engine in and running, then rebuild another engine with exactly those mods

            this is full of win. on3performance turbo kit is only ~1500... that would be a cheap way to have ~450whp (conservatively tuned to preserve the block)

              And its not an ebay kit? Good heavens... I my need to build an engine and do this.

              Just curious if it will all fit, with the confines of the e30 bay.

                    so it means you have to do the 5.0 rwd axle or just fit up on e30 rear axle/

                      At first I thought "eh, just another E30" but the 5.0 is pretty cool.
                      And a 5.0 and spray goes together like peanut butter and jelly.

                      Cool build. Going to do H/C/I in the future?

                        Custom driveshaft, fit to the old e30 diff.

                          Sweet E30, although personally I think the older 5.0 looks kind of ugly. Surprised you didn't try to go with the newer dohc setup. Or you know...

                            Oh! Yeah, my plan is to buy a newer engine, then do just that to it. Keep it simple, reliable power. But thanks! But yeah, ugly ass engine, but a newer engine would have been MUCH harder to do, even with efi the wiring for this is pretty simple.

                                I didn't mean to knock the swap, plus the price tag on those 302 or newer 5.0 are pretty ridic.
                                You're right though, your efi will be straight to the point and easy to maintain! Keep us updated on progress.
