E36 Mustang 5.0 Conversion

[Aibo]

Has a 5.0 conversion been done? Is it even possible, enough clearance?

Any kits availiable?

[Rooz]

never heard of it.... Bu why put a mustang engine in a BMW?

[nobrakese36]

yeah thats lame jesse james sh*t,youll destroy the balance of the car also the class of the car.

[Rooz]

if you want a V8 swap that's a diff. story, but just a mustang 5.0 in a bimmer.... doesn't sound like a good idea....

Might want to consider doing an M5 engine swap....

[zeidakiss]

yeah and if u think m5 engine is pricey get a 540 should be alot cheaper.

[thekid]

It would be the cheapest 5.0 engine you could put in a BMW. As the saying goes, anything is possible if you have enough money...

[///M Power]

It would probably greatly upset the weight balance of the car.

[Storamin]

I would not be so sure of disrupting the weight balance. The LS1 kit offers a very good weight balance, and I believe it is very close to 50/50.

[zeidakiss]

i herd that the ls1 engine weighs less than a bmw i6.

[nobrakese36]

arent old mustang engines made off all iron,the bimmers are made of aluminum,alumin is three times lighter than steel.

there are no "mustang 5.0 engine kits" for the e36 because no one wants that motor in their e36. you are both correct about the ls1. http://www.vorshlag.com/E36ProjectBook.asp
