Although I don't mind the upgraded horsepower from the new motor. :] We're just not keen on losing this powerplant anytime soon.



Sweet! Keep us posted...

Finding space for it in the engine bay may be a bit tough especially with keeping the OE amenities, A/C, P/S, ABS, etc.

I am keeping a couple build threads, one here on LS1 Tech and another on bimmerforums. Here’s both threads with pics of the LSx power train stab…
