Default New guy from Michigan

Just coming in here to say Hi. My name is Mikeand Im from just west of detroit

I'm currently doing a swap in my 99 M3. I figured this would be the number 1 place to look for some lsx info. I'll be spending most of my time in the for sale and hybrid section, lol. I already have a Aluminum 5.3 out of a truck and ls6 heads but I'm deff gonna need alot of random parts.

I am on www.motownmuscle.com where I am a sponsor, they refurred me to this site.

The way the car sat before it got put away...

Im gunning for 400whp.

The car weighs 3150 pounds, and has a drag coef of .30, with a 3.23 rear gear.

I hope it is as fun to drive as it sounds on paper, Im also anxious to see what kinda MPG I can sqeeze out of it with the T-56.

Thanks for the welcome guys..

I swear I have seen a Z with center exhaust running around town. Before I had the M3 I had a blackish/blueish 95 Mustang GT drop top for years, It sits off warren..
