    Awesome to see we have some younger guys like myself out here cranking engines. You guys are doing it big. Badass! I'm working my way up to an engine swap, typed in ls swap e30 on google and you guys popped up. Right on, thank you!

    This is the best video bros!!! I have a f10 550i, I’m swapping an Lt1 6.2 from a camaro. Your video showed where to get the trans adapter, the pros and cons... the only thing I have to find now, is how to use the LT1 and still use the adaptive suspension, and/or marry the Chevy and bmw pcm together

    Could I ask a favor? I'm looking at using the same adapter with an LS in my e30. I was wondering with where yours sits could you give me a measurement from the rear of the front subframe to the back of the engine where the adapter meets the block? I'm wanting to know with standard sway bar removed if I can fit the gm performance rear sump pan is all. Thanks if you can. Btw your welding skills aren't trash form the later videos I watched. Looked better than most of my friend's welds that say they can weld by far 🤫

  • @shwagondawheels
    @shwagondawheels 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey if you notice any vibrations on the first drive from the bellhousing area that changes between clutch engagements it may be due to not having the two large dowels on the back of the LS. I just noticed this after watching this video for the 5th time as I'll be buying the same adapter for mine soon. Hopefully you'll be fine and the engine plate is centered with just the bolts. Btw there should be two hollow dowels on the ZF trans and the one small solid dowel over where the original BMW starter went but the two you have are almost 180 from each other so you'll be fine there. I left the hollow ones in the M54 I pulled my ZF from and had to go back to the yard to get them, ooops… Give me a follow back @M85suchka on the gram, I've been posting up a little on my LS E30 parts collecting and engine build so far. Look forward to seeing yours sliding soon and thanks for the entertaining content!!!
