Default Any known LSx --> Z4 Swaps?

Getting a new job with a BIG raise soon, so i was thinking of buying a "new" car... and I absolutely love the look/ride of the BMW Z4. The only thing i dont really like about it is the lack of power... it needs a V8.

I know people have done the e36 M3/Z3 swaps, but has anyone swapped an LSx into a Z4 yet??? I think a 400rwhp V8 Z4 would be an awesome ride. I'm very interested in taking on the swap. I can used Z4's for less than 20k around here, so i think it'd be worth it to buy it, pay it off, then swap away!

Off topic, but check out the recent Top Gear episode with it. I think it was 13x6.

Just go to his site or over to the engine conversion part of the forum, its very technical.
