[@RaabsIn513]

you make this look so easy!

[@Driftlife36]

I felt the “out of battery” vibe

[@yourstrulyct]

Nice work! I can't wait to see your next videos!

[@dcheetham8603]

excellent video! Keep up the good work - it's appreciated. Btw: Jack your car up a little higher and make your life a little easier!

[@georgiosgonos3350]

yes good job

[@Topscrapper0121]

Need more!!!!

[@casobank]

Awesome video, please post an update!

[@Unknown-fu9gn]

Hy what about fuel economy

[@mattp733i]

Man, thats an awesome swap! 👍Did you have to customize the motor mounts and what about the wiring was that difficult to do? Were all the manual transmission parts like linkage and shifter from your e30 or the e39?

[@RPMkraft]

The motor mounts can be easily bought online so you don't have to do the guess work in the angles of the motor

[@RPMkraft]

The shift linkage was actually from the e39 I just cut it to fit and then welded them

Nice work man ! can you help with this please ? i have an E30 i'm planning to restore and there is a N62B44 V8 engine taken from an E65 available to purchase from one of my friends. i've been looking online for information on the possibility of this swap especially the gearbox which is an automatic (ZF GS6S53BZ) , i want a manual though and the only thing i could find online is some talks about using the E39 6 speed manual but those are very rare and expensive. do you have any idea how can i do this swap ? what kind of manual gearbox would work with this engine ? and if no manual gearbox is available , how can i use the engine and its original automatic gearbox in an E30 ? any informations regarding this is quite appreciated , thank you in advance.

Nice video. I love swapped e30s. I have an s52 swapped e30. Any updates on the car? Suspension setup?

[@Shas4Ever]

When you turned on the car it was growling sound? What have you done to fixed it? Thanks

[@orlanmedina3693]

Wouldn't it been easier to lower the car on top of the car?

[@mattp733i]

How is the car still running after the swap? Any updates?

[@user-kj9wo3tt1p]

What is the engine control unit?

[@vicentechamberlain579]

Didnt cut the oil pan?

[@74bavaria2]

What steering pump did you use? I know the v8 pumps have higher pressures compare the straight six.

[@RPMkraft]

I actually used the pump off the e34 m60 but made custom stainless power steering lines. You can probably get away with oem e30 lines and just "bend" them to fit.

[@jose771671]

Jw how much did the total swap cost in $ and time?

[@yeeeyeeyeee8209]

Update videos

[@ANT5003]

Thanks for posting this 🙏🏾. Gives me confidence in my e30 m62TU build. Just curious. How long did it take for you to complete the job?!?!

[@RPMkraft]

ANT5003 the swap itself took about two weeks cause I only worked on it after work and weekends, you can probably finish it within a week but only if you have all the parts ready to go. If not, it'll be a waiting game for parts

[@ANT5003]

Mouthy Mechanic wow, that’s a very small amount of time. I do I have a majority of the parts all including the custom driveshaft, ECU ect. Ready to go. Was debating on just doing it on my own vs paying a shop.

[@lukasgaseb9666]

Hi how did you go about with the brake booster did you replace it with the E28i brake booster

[@santoscarrillo3857]

What did you do for wiring? Harness, ecu, ews???

[@dikkodikko6262]

404 ecu

[@kristiansuljic6940]

nice! How long did it take you to have the engine swaped?

[@RPMkraft]

The engine swap itself took about a week but it was only like that because I had all the parts ready

[@Lord_montu999]

Did you change the timing chain guides on newer engine ?

[@RPMkraft]

I actually replaced all the seals and timing chain guides before the engine went in. The engine was actually a obdII non vanos so I actually converted it to obdi also

[@santoscarrillo3857]

What ecu did you run?

[@sandman7373]
