427cid LS3 with Dry Sump in E36 BMW done and running This is customer Scooter Glass' 1994 BMW E36 that we recently completed a 427 cubic inch LS3 based conversion with a T56. Was running for the last year with a junk yard pull out LS1 and it finally locked up. Since he road races the E36 we opted for a full dry sump oil system.
With out breaking in the engine and a ultra conservative tune we got 520 rwhp and 500 rwtq on our dynojet chassis dyno.
Expecting another 10-25rwhp and similar torque when the engine is fully broken in and with a more aggressive tune.
Not bad for a 2600 lb car.

Very nice build and you could have some fun with people in that car for sure. 
What size exhaust are you running? It looks like a single 3'' out back? Couldnt you gain more with duals tucked up nicely or atleast a single 4''? Or was the smaller exhaust chosen to keep things quiet?
