I am very tempted. The gearbox we know we can do. We are working out if my new clutch would work. Engine mounts won't be a problem it will fit. Exhaust might be tricky. It dose not weigh much more and is shorter than the 6 so the weight is more central.Grumpyowl wrote:Machine monkey wrote:I am getting very tempted to put the v8 from the soarer in my z4!!

I will be using a standalone ECU if I turbo and the turbo and this would cost about the same? And at 280 Bhp and 290 ftlbs and then a blower 500 ish of each!!
