E30 Zone

Can you guys please tell me a rough cost of what your 4.0 v8 conversions have cost and what sort of power they give.It will be going in a e30 325i cab. I have no parts and I know people who can fit the engine for me just after a rough price on what all the parts add up to. Thanks, Ash

I'd say for a good engine and manual box you are looking at £1500+
Then I would budget the same again (at least) for all the other bits and pieces you need to get it running.
As standard the engines produce 282bhp and 290 ftlb of torque, more without the CATs

Ok mate thanks, do the think the convertible chassis would handle it?

^ That's a matter of preference really dude. Jonsku on here is putting an m60 into a cab and will obviously say yes but then again I have heard many guys complain about the amount of chassis flex and scuttle shake with e30 cabs. Never driven one myself. I'm not a hair dresser nor do I wear baseball caps or sunglasses

TBh I would happily cruise around on a sunny day with the roof down listening to the v8 rumble I'd say it would suit one perfectly for road use.

SHAZ325ISPORT has just done a V8 conversion, he might sell as he's having trobule insuring it

adgie go for it,the torque,the sound,the power,the sound,lol is absolutely amazing.

had races with E46 M3/Porsche Camen S,and all i can say is they were gob smacked!

turns heads(right all the way round)everywhere you go

my one is in a coupe,and feels fine

DO IT!
