LS Swapped BMW E38 740i Overview and 8HP70 Update

Follow my instagram page Lsx_E38 for more of the build!
Hello Guys, Just wanted to create a video overview of my 2001 bmw 740i LS Swap project that i have going on.
Just a general overview of the swap, what i'm working on at the moment, what's left and what my plans are going forward.
More videos to come with the 8HP70 swap. Thanks!

[@projectgattago]

It would be really great if you did a video showing the 4L80 and the 8HP70 side by side.

[@wgreen340]

Man she’s a gem. Stop rushing and let’s go .5 on that view we wanna see everything!!!!!! This is another one for the books your a famous E38 savior sir!

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

Dont worry, there will be more videos!

[@Widebody999]

I’m worried there hasn’t been anymore videos

[@abduMalik070]

​@@vladsspeedshop7879 Any news about the project bro... Update us

[@derekstocker6661]

Well done on this, the comments also make us aware that there are some really knowledgeable car people out there, the E38 is easily one of my favourite cars but have run an E36 for over 25 years now and she is just so wonderfully reliable, would not part with for anything. Thanks for this posting and good luck with plans for future of this superb car.

If you’re on e38 empire I think we’ve talked before. I sold my e38 but always say I’ll get another one but it’ll be LS swapped. Kudos

[@mrallande105]

Solid, looking forward to the 8hp👌🏻

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

Same, gonna be pretty sick once it’s up and running. Adaptor plate for the 8hp shipped today ✔️

[@AlbertoM9Z]

Fkin awesome swap, great transmission choice.

[@thehomeofbiglspower]

Nice work brother, looking clean. 👌

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

Thank you! It’s getting there 😅

[@MrCukydoh]

Please dump the VW water bottle. Perfectly done otherwise, good job man.

[@vladshestopal6100]

Krasauchik. Get her done bro.

[@agustinmorales4045]

Very nice!

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

Thank you! Pretty cool to see more and more LS swapped e38s out there already!

[@jasonlouis5498]

Nice job! I would just check the routing on the catch can and just know you could make the drive by wire work with the terminator x max, all you need is the DBW harness. I did it on my e36 with a pedal out of an x5 but I’m sure your original pedal would work.

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

Yep catch can still needs attention. I will be making another update video here soon but we are going turbo so the catch can situations gonna change as well. The plan is to convert back to bmw DBW pedal and tie it into the Holley system, seems like best option for the 8hp

[@elijaah81]

Love the build, great content. Not much out there for the E38/E39 guys

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

Slowly but surely there’s more support for these platforms coming out as of lately

[@shokiyume9195]

Livin a dream😭

[@yanashkarin8205]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@WilloW0024]

Great content. Subscribing for the 8HP.

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

Thanks for the sub!

[@wgreen340]

Same here please post what’s up

[@ratfarmers]

Awesome video! I came across this video in my process of research to do the same swap. How's your project coming along?

[@robhinze8626]

Nice car! Any updates on it?

[@anonymoususer3859]

Take a shot everytime he says um

[@zeidabuhamdeh4504]

Nice bro! Did you get all the gauges to work?

[@328ronald]

Any updates? We want to see more 8hp content.

[@tomluciani3723]

LS swap is best with year 2009 and above

[@lukasvanwelten]

hi, looking good. which motor did you put in it?

[@wgreen340]

More vids??

[@wgreen340]

What oil pan did you use and edit

[@chiodeguate1]

Any more vids coming?

[@89five3five]

Was this from a swap kit or did you create your own mounts and wiring looms?

[@wgreen340]

What headers were used on this swap?

[@jeffreyharman5350]

Did you use the 04-06 GTO pan?

[@jeffreyharman5350]

I am about to start tackling the same build. Did the 4L80e fit pretty easily or did you have to make some room for it to fit, if that makes any sense?

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

No, the 4l80 fit pretty good. no huge modifications

[@wanyathomas2068]

Yoooo I have a 745 I have so many questions

[@user-bw2gl9cj4w]

Where are you located I wanna get a 2008 bmw 750li swapped

[@amoujaffar]

Would love to do this! Are you using a kit?

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

No real kits available for the E38 platform. Just piecing the swap together as I go!

[@apt-nq5ep]

Hey that's awesome job. I have 09 bmw 750 I want to drop LS in . Will this be super difficult ? Also may I have your contact info

[@JamesHunter-yb3ld]

What type of headers did you use for your swap?

[@mattcarle21]

I have the same question. I have an LSA and LY6 ready for my 2001 E38. Clean build.

[@jeffreyharman5350]

Oh and I’m guessing it’s a 5.3?

[@Agent-tc8dj]

6.0

[@RheinAmacher]

Do you have any pictures of the interior cabin, specifically what the gear shift knob area looks like?

[@vsaber80]

HTG to control the 8hp?

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

No, im either gonna run a Turbolamik or a sound german controller

[@200saluma]

@@vladsspeedshop7879 I want to do this so bad but i can’t find a decent budget controller

[@vladsspeedshop7879]

@@200saluma i think im gonna go with a Sound german controller since they are local to me and specialize with Dodge TCM 8hp70s.

[@reusch55]

Turbolamik is the best who swaped 8hp to BMW in Poland 👍 I have e38 740 with 8hp 😊

[@timurmuz]

Can you help me with my sound sytem problem?

[@ChubbySenpaii17]

Can the ls1 fit in this

[@bigdoinks5139]

Any ls would fit, ls9 might not Shit you could put an Ls/LT in a Miata

[@ChubbySenpaii17]

How differemt would an ls1 swap be

[@maxjones9139]

They’re the same size.. ls1 isn’t as good but still fun!

[@JTEKTNYC]

Ummmmmm!!

[@hellhoundmsr2376]

Hello, where did you get the motor mount and gear mount? Can you get something like this? greeting
