Ls1 or? Debating on forking out 10k for the 2jz tho Then it's done 😂

Is this car for sale? Thought I saw it on FB marketplace

[@thatrussiankid5579]

Everything is for sale for a right price lol

[@Star_Taro]

The pandem kit kinda compliments the body lines of the e46 when it's molded. Especially in the front. Good work dude! 👏 If it was an M3 I would've complained that you got rid of the beautiful S54 but I got nothing but props.

[@killrkami6474]

You think a swap would work with an AWD 2002 330xi??? I was thinking of doing this since it’s a lot cheaper then finding a low mileage motor

[@arjunmcneill4041]

Amazing work man! Especially working off the ground. Tons of Respect!

[@thatrussiankid5579]

Thanks man

great build man, i will stay here for a while! ;)

@@thatrussiankid5579 i've been researching for LS swap to E46 over the internet and thats how I found ur vids. I would really want to do what u did, problem in my country (Poland) is that LS engines are not that cheap... same for any parts for this engine so this makes ma wonder to go for this one or maybe some other V8 swap that is available in europe...

[@nxrth5987]

You think a LS swap would work on a 2003 745LI? but btw AWESOME BUILD 👍

[@thatrussiankid5579]

Yes. You'll have to find a way to make you speedometer work or just use after market stuff, but LS will run off of 2 relays and 4 fuses. Lol

[@sottpexploit]

@@thatrussiankid5579 is that the same with the 46?

u amazing mannnn. what u done is just absolutely amazing and the final resulst are awesome.. yesterday me too get this replica of pandhem kit and now i started to make it :) Found your videos and u will help me very much !
