Default Hello from the Great White North

I'm a 57 yr old gear head. Bought a 1998 Corvette 5.7 LS1 for a Nissan 240sx Coupe project, but may be changing plans to dropping it into a 93 BMW 320i coupe. Just got to be light and go fast. I also own a 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR. Jap muscle car. I rebuilt the RB26DETT and drag raced it this past year. It was beating BB chevys, BB dodges, and plenty of Mustangs. Pretty fast for 158 Cu. In.(it's the twin turbos) I also rebuilt a 396 I've had for 30 plus years, to about 580 HP, but can't find a chassis for the torque it makes.
Would like to hear from anyone on this site from around here, or someone knowledgeable on the BMW swaps.
Thanks for reading and Cheers!!
