E39 BMW 540 LS Swap Completed
I would guess it's b/c of his 3.15 gearing.

Well I spoke a little too soon. Since that post we have had 5+ inches of snow three times, concluding with around 10 inches of snow yesterday. The good news is that with a late season snow the temps are pretty warm so the roads are cleared pretty quickly around here.
I didn't get any pics during the latest storm, but here are some from the day after.

Well the car made it through it's third LS powered winter 
and it is not the worse for wear 
I did collect a nice big chip on the rear bumper.
Looks pretty much the same as it did the day I bought it.
I did some routine maintenance over the winter (basically a new front suspension and steering parts and some odds and ends.
One of my ac lines had a very slow leak - it took 3 months for the leak to reveal itself so I made up a new line.
The car is back on its summer wheels, the winter floor mats are out and it is ready for the nicer weather

Custom made out of 3/8" steel plate with lots of gussets - way overkill
People now make mount kits for both the 6 cylinder cars and the 8 cylinder cars.
You just need the parts and the crimping tool. The trickiest part os the LS1 specific valve for the pressure switch - there is a thread on here with the details from a few swaps ago

Time for AC performance check. Maybe not high performance, but definitely daily driver performance
Not the hottest day of the year, but it is upper 80's and high humidity today (Weather Bug says it is 89 with a 66 dew point and an air quality alert
), and I happened to have my thermometer with me so I decided to check out how my AC is doing, turns out it is doing pretty well
With the temp set to max AC it gets pretty cold....
