I think the motor is actually going to be stock....I really don't know what the guy has in mind for the car. Im just friends with the fabricator. I know if I heard this thing pull up, I would do a double take!

Here is another pic...

ah here is a man after my own heart. I'm hoping to one day get a 3 series maybe a compact for a daily drive and I want t odo a ls1 swap for everyday use. I'm still unsure as of what year because I'm torn between a 80's m3 clone or a e46. maybe both I don't know. that's looking like a fun swap though.

Nice swap. Any plans to make a kit for the conversion.

A 3 series LS1 would make a great track car

Is it going to be a auto or 6spd setup?
If 6spd which pedals are you using, and if using the stock ones, which MC? and how is the clearance for the bell housing, etc....
