Hello all,
I'm currently in the process of collecting parts to drop a 5.3 lsx into my 88 BMW 325i (e30)
I already have:
5.3 motor
t56 trans/clutch/flywheel
Custom 234/246 comp cam. (I know its big for the 5.3, but I plan on throwing in some arp rod bolts as well, and counting on my light car with 4.10 gears and 7k to have fun).
I will be using the truck manifold/FEAD for now to keep cost down. I don't know what I'll do about hood clearance but that is the least of my concern.
Still need:
GTO pan
set of #30 injectors (or close)
truck throttle body
ECM
Harness
See me in the classifieds! This should be a fun project, and I will of course create a build thread on here to share the experience.
The specimen:

I'm hoping to get it around the 380-400WHP mark. Shouldn't be too shabby if I can get the weight down to 2500+- a few lbs.
