90 735i So my current project is a 1990 BMW 735i with 345,000 miles on it, but it is still super nice.
Pics in 2 days.
After i replaced the fan belts, the water pump failed, i guess i over-tensioned the belt, and the engine overheated badly, more than once.
Just as well, it seemed nearly underpowered.
So I have an '01 4.8L, self-ported heads, didn't grind the ramps out of the intake ports, getting new Z06 valvesprings, installed an '04 LS1 / LQ9 cam, have a pair of '98 Z28 exhaust manifolds, need an LS1 intake manifold, backing it with a 4L60, through an ATP Z270 flexplate, building my own harness, getting another baseline tune from lt1swap, and the car already has a still- functional limited slip differential, not sure what axle ratio. It has 225/60R15s on aluminum 7s.
And seriously considering a new Comp 206/212-112+2 515/522 cam, with a B&M 2000-stall.
