Trust me, it’s all been thought about. I’ve thought about the LSx, Terminator, even upwards of an E39 M5 V8, or S/C E46 M3 motor. However… ANY of these would be years away. That’s where I’d like it to be eventually. Restored body and interior, with a wild motor swap. I do think the car could use the V8 power, seeing as it’s around 3500 lbs.

These are also on the long-term wish list.

HRE 505’s, 17x9 front, 17x10.5 rear, very low offset.

I need louder exhaust. 4th to 3rd downshift, I don’t think I even went over 4k.

Are you friends with a bunch of middle aged guys, or are they drug dealers. It has to be one of the two 😃

What might the future hold? I don’t know, but this looks right at home between the fenders. Not to mention, that with a T56 installed, the shifter goes through the same opening in the tunnel as stock with no modification.

I want to, but it’s going to be years away if it does happen.

I don’t even want to think about the wiring job involved with that. :eek4:

The guy that runs [www.mwrench.com](http://www.mwrench.com) did the swap in an E24 M6, I think he makes the all of the necessary brackets (motor mounts, trans mount, etc) for the swap.

I don’t have a camera, but it probably would have been the other way around if I did have one… That is pretty funny though, I never thought I’d see the day either. Someone in a $195k car filming my $3k car.
