Some people may hate on this kind of swap, but I think it will be awesome. Way to go man! I hope the build goes well. Keep us posted with lots of pics.

i agree with the other.....removing that brace in the front seems very unsafe, not to mention the front of the car will feel like a wet noodle...im intrested to see what u have planned

I've always wondered if the V8 from the e39 M5 will fit in there. That would be a nice swap, but even the LSx swap is good.

neat Ideas but there are reasons why large swaps like this have been avoided
I am putting the brace back in it just had to be moved forward so any issues with it not being there are a mute point.....and large swaps like this have been avoided because people are to scared to take a chance and try it.
