- My ongoing E36 LS series condensed into 1 short video. This covers my whole build so far which includes a built LS1 T56, Wilwood Brakes, shaved and painted engine bay, straight pipe exhaust, Holley ECU, and much more! (BTW, it's a clone, I know) More mods on the way!

Bro this man literally did an LS swap in his garage and did it with ease. Beautiful car hope you enjoy the hell out of it
Thank you! Definitely wasn’t as easy as it looks though 😂
@@matt13ross what would you say was the biggest obstacle to tackle on this swap
@@matt13ross any tips on how I can learn to do this myself? I’m somewhat knowledgeable on how a car works but nowhere near ready for something like this.
@@mitchzammitti933 best way to learn is to just do it! It help if you have time to figure stuff out.
@@matt13ross I’m sure. The mechanical bits, reasonably straightforward with skill, but the wiring!
I really liked the duration of the video, no nonsense BS, no drama, just the nitty gritty of the build. Loved the details and workmanship. I wish the sound was more muted so it would be a true sleeper. Man the car rips! Thanks for sharing, enjoy the ride. 👍
Thank you! Car has changed a lot since this video. I may make a new 15 minute build series.
Crazy how vids like this make you realize how much time and effort really goes into a build.
Thanks! Tons of time for sure (wish I would have tracked it).
Absolutely amazing. You do real high quality work. Impressive
Thank you sir!

@@matt13ross Do you built for other are just self if so interested ?
Probably the first ls swapped e36 i've seen, very unique. So cool. Keep it up.
Thanks! Will do!
All these parts and pieces makes it so way for him. Amazing!
Brother, that is an absolutely brilliant build - congratulations pal!!! That’s the highest quality work everywhere in the car - hope you enjoy it for years!
Thank you! I will def enjoy it as I don't plan on ever selling it.
He really build his car all alone. His passion and consistency damn. This is success.
Passion drove me for sure!
Dreaming of doing this to a future project build and man this is ridiculously impressive to just do it all in your own garage, absolute goals 💪🏼 Awesome job!
I love E30's and E36's... this was one of the coolest videos i've seen in a long while.
A little over a decade ago I had a 96 318 in hellrot red and always dreamed of swapping an LS into it. Never got the chance to make that dream a reality, but I loved watching you do it. Thanks for sharing your awesome build.
Thank you! I've been planning on doing this for years and finally got around to it. I'm glad I did!
😜 i ok 🤙
A true master builder is not only building something useful..but also finding the art in making it actually LOOK good! Kudos my guy! Car is f$#@ing Sick!! Im LS swapping my S420!! This is crazy inspiration
Kind words, thank you!!
You must be a master mechanic to do this all by yourself awesome work
😂 far from it, but thanks!
that last shot with GF is amazing....like a boss!!! awesome work!!!!
😂 yup thanks!
DAMMIT!!!! Now that I've seen this, I'm gonna have to try it!!! GREAT JOB BRO!! You'd forgiven for thinking a team of mechanics in a fancy high dollar shop did the work!!! EXCELLENT WORK!!
Kind words, big thanks!
congrats brotha you did very nice work all by yourself in the garage love it!
Thank you!! 🙏
I feel like the swap itself isn’t hard but big respect for doing the wire chasing yourself. I do t have the patience to mess with wires
It was well worth it!
Great build dude!! You have a lot of talent.
Thanks a bunch!
Nice transition from spray to engine mounted. 👌🏾👌🏾
I can't describe with any words how much I love what you did. Maybe one day I could achieve my dream
The fact he’s in his garage and made an ls swap look easy is badass. Nice build bro 😎
Thanks, appreciate it!
Unbelievable engine swap, great craftsman- mechanic, can you just put a ballpark figure on what it would take to do this- in parts and labor. Sure appreciate when such a young person has this kind of skillset. Can barely get my boys to check their tire pressure, LOL. Thanks for the video.
I made a video about the overall cost. Time wise, man that's hard to say lol. 9 months ish?
Wow. This was one of the cleanest swaps I've ever seen. beautiful!
Wow, thank you!
Great work man, it's inspiring
So impressed with this 👏🏻
Thank you!
Great work you cracked the code my friend you made a BMW reliable. Nice work would love to see a pov driving upload.
LOL cracked the code, yup! I'm going to do a POV video but I need a new Gopro first, the old one (4) isn't good quality.
This is the type of content that makes you feel good. This is so rad
Thanks!
what a gem this video is, and what more of a gem that build is!
Hey thanks!!
Car sounds and looks crazy awesome job men
One of the best and cleanest projects I’ve seen
Thanks a bunch!
Increíble, eres un genio. Un trabajo de 10🤩🤩🤩
Dude. So good..very thorough and clean.
Thanks I appreciate it!
Got the headers in there wow
Good job bro
Thanks!
"Yes honey, I'll get that thing rebuilt some day", but the guy actually does!!!
I don't know if its the inspirational music that makes the project even better or the project that makes the music inspirational. haha. Fuckin awesome ending by the way. Are you a mechanic at trade or is this and the ZR2 a side hobby?
😂 glad you like it! I’m not a mechanic this is all a side hobby.
@@matt13ross you are bloody brilliant at this.... Hats off to you brah 🤛🏾
You make it look easy . Well done ,you really a magician. Brilliant.
Thanks! Not that easy though lol.
Incredible work on this car, I wish I knew how to do even half of everything you've done on it ! Bravo
Thanks! Anything me can do it, just gotta turn some wrenches!
@@matt13ross Haha, and a bit of passion, perseverance and hard work ;)
I would love to do this to my Gloria but idk how I'd get the odometer to work nor how I'd do the rear end. Wish I had this skills, knowledge and tools. Awesome build
There's so many kits out there, you can do it!
This guy is one of most skilled people I've seen so far. He can probably even build a robot twin of his wife if he really wanted to. 😂
Too kind! Haven’t tried making a robot yet though 😂
Beautiful work Matt😮
Thanks a bunch!
Congrats, your project is amazing, well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Congrats on this big accomplishment, don’t think I’m up for a LS swap 😅 but can’t wait to get my hands on a E36.
Thank you! The swap is definitely doable with all the parts available and resources online to help. I love the E36 chassis!
Buy mine
I love this build, must be so dam proud! Can I ask what the type/brand of black paint you are using to get the matte finish with a heat gun?
It's just wrinkle black in a can!
Congratulations for the project... 👌
Nice build
Amigo vc é um fenômeno. Um gênio. Poucos tem esta habilidadinteligência, e ainda trabalhando sozinho, agradeça ao Papai do Céu. Lindíssimo, maravilhoso projeto. Vc esta de parabéns. Abraço
Good job! I've had 2 e63 m6's. What kind of tires do you run on it? Looks like it could go sideways easy haha. I have a supersprint x pipe, eisenmann race and custom headers from Ryan at RMS Racing. You're build was epic. Almost as loud as my V10!!!
Hey, how long do you think it took you ? In the video it looks dlso easy when a skilled person does it, that being you but it does see like a rather daunting procedure.
It's an ongoing build but around 9 months to a year to swap the engine and get it running and driving.
Brilliant job but de Video make it seem like a week job am inspired my brother 🇿🇦
This has been an absolute pleasure to watch!
I'm glad! Did you check out the newer version I have?
Amazing skills right there !
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey, am considering a very similar build. Just wondering why you went with the t56 Magnum F, and if you feel like the car could take a little more horsepower than what it has right now!
Love the videos, thanks!
The Magnum is about the same price as a regular T56. I like the extra room for more power.
I wish I could ship my E36 to you or ship you out to him 🔥
You just gained a follower!
Haha, thanks!!
Man this is so inspirational. Well done!!
Thank you!
Beautiful job buddy!!
Thanks!
Wow what a build bro! Insane 🔥🔥 What cage did you end up going with?
It’s a never lift roll bar. Really nice piece!
looks really good. i would just keep it stock inside to make it look more like a sleeper. oh and also, not a fan of noise, but nice job with exhaust.
It’s not totally different than stock in the inside. Still have the dash and door cards, etc. exhaust will be redone with full stainless and probably a muffler.
To combat the noise, I love a good mufflered exhaust, with a remote cutout, you can keep the nice quiet around the neighborhood sound, or just click a button and set off car alarms.
i had so much fun waching this video thanks man!!!
I’m glad you did!
Dude, you got alot of building talent working on car at or age, good build I have an 46 bmw 325xi and after my motor retires like to do that LS swap. Thanks for the look...😊
Thank you! 🙏
Dude doing this alone is amazing!!!
Thanks!
It was so beautiful. LS the best. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the kind words!
That first start sounded like the crackle of thunder :)
I got into looking at drift cars and this is what I didnt know I needed lol
Its worth countless likes.precision in every aspect.
Thank you!
Man that’s some cool shit. Car looks and sounds incredible. You should be proud, you did a bang up job
Thank you sir!
amazing job mate, keep going
Thanks, will do!
New setup sound so good.
Thanks, I agree!
Grreeeat job man ! the red color is beautiful !
Thanks! Not a red guy, but I like it on this car.
fuck yes. the painted engine bay really steped the project up.
I agree! I wasn't looking forward to doing it, but I'm so glad I did!
Great video man!
Thank you! 🙏
Wow man, This is great work.
Thank you!
wow, if only this were for sale in a few months. My goodness, what an awesome job!
Glad you like it, but def not selling!
@@matt13ross I figured, I would never let this thing leave my hands. Good luck man!!!!'
Daaaaaang this is straight up inspirational !!!
I'm glad you think so!
Beautiful Build Bro...
Thank you!
Flipping awesome
I would pay you just about anything to do me an E30 with that setting and clean cut finishing, you sir are a true artist
Thank you! I have an E30 waiting as my next project 👀
@@matt13ross can't wait to see it :)
Can't wait till I have my own place like this to really tidy up my 5.0ho swapped e36. Need to clean things up.
At least you got the hard part (the swap) already done!
Excellent work
Thank you!
And you’re by yourself! Filming all that hard work, damn bro.
Thank you! It's work but enjoyable to me.
Love that look on e46 rims
Me too!
Awesome video!
