    Buy it and swap in an SR20 with a big turbo. Has anybody ever done an LS1 swap in a 3-series chassis? They would each cost barely more than any of those BMW motor swaps and have much more potential.

    The most common LSx swap into a euro car would def. be an E36 or E30. There's so many done that there are kits and places to buy everything you need for the conversion. I've thought about it myself considering it keeps the weight distribution, but I can make much more power and cheaper by just going turbo. Check the engine conversion section of bimmerforums.com if your interested. There's a few on there and I know there
    s a stroked 6.6L LS2 swap in one of them with video's. Or just type in LS whatever BMW in youtube.
