I do currently own an Automatic e36 M3. It was my daily driver that I could lend to my parents and friends when they came to visit me from out of town. :lol:
I do have a ~700whp C5 M6 in my garage, dyno slips will be up next month maybe.
I also own a 08 colorado, a 06 crown vic, a 73 triumph and a home if you’d like to know.
I’d rick roll that, plus a ls1 is way more fun as a street car then an old 3 speed gen 1 big block.
omgz really? you must be so rich and successful siqqqq…
this isnt the bragging thread, nor do i give a fuck about your elite stable of american muscle
my point is that if you are not sick of the car you drive daily which happens to be an automatic 240hp sedan i doubt you would be sick of driving this after 1 jaunt.
Nice setup,a lot of people dont know the details on the cadillac 500 motor,bone stock 400hp/550 lb ft @ 3000 RPM,stock weight is 595lbs,aluminum heads are a 70lb weight reduction,aluminum intake is a 24lb weigh reduction.I dont think he did all that bad with his engine choice
LS1 Total Dressed Engine Weight
Auto. - 457.6 lbs. (208 kg) (Flexplate)
Manual - 497.2 lbs (226 kg) (Pressure Plate and Fly Wheel)
I sleep on a bed of hundred dollar bills and diamonds it is surprisingly supple. You should care about my elite stable, praise me baby.
I actually have more imports in my garage then Americans cars, as the M3, Triumph and vette stay there.
I am bored with the M3, that is why it is getting dropped off to its new owner in 2 weeks.
I was clearly exaggerating about getting bored after one ride, it might take a week. A big block three speed car with steep gears and skinny tires. I guess you could use it for burn outs lol. It isn’t a street car or a drag car, what do you do with it?
That is a pretty solid big block, I wonder how it would react to a good set of heads and a large cam.
My stroked ls1 complete just weighed in at 430lbs FYI (no clutch only flywheel).
It would be very interesting to see the car on wheel scales before and after the swap to see how the dynamics changed.
