I was reading somewhere that a few peeps were swamping in LS1/6 instead of upgrading to Euro spec,M3, or M5 engines.

You can land a 400hp N/A LS1 with 6 speed tranny for 7K
or supercharge your 2.5/2.8 for 7K
or buy Euro, M3, M5 new for 10K +

If you think about it,
Euro Spec = 320hp @10K+ (used)
LS1/LS6 w/ 6speed w/vortech = ~600hp @11k

shit i was logged in as notch this was from me, i'm droping this german motor and doing the ls1 swap, very very streetable 400hp

[BlantonG13]

Don't get me wrong...a LS1 engine is absolutely sick modern day American muslce...but doesn't that defeat the purpose of having german engineered power at our fingertips?

yeah i know i'm going to get a bunch of shit for doing this, but consider it a half breed, i still have all the suspension and brakes, which are my fav parts of the car, along with its killer looks, i think the e36 is the best looking car ever. i just have a problem with how costly it is to mod the motor, i could cam the ls1 for 300 bucks, and get huge gains, cam the 325 and it cost you 900 dollars and you get less of a gain. its going to the birth of something very beautiful.

um an e39 m5 engine=400hp plus turbo = 800 this is german engenerring at its finest
