Hope this helps those that are considering this swap. Keep in mind it may not be 100% accurate because prices vary and deals are hard to come by.

Great breakdown, thanks for sharing!
Great video
Thanks for sharing the cost and for saying when you got a good deal. $3500 for an S54 and Tranny is amazing. You definitely did your homework. How long did the swap take you from start to finish? My e36M3 LS3 swap is about 70% complete (CARB legal). Lots of lesson learned :)

Thanks man, definitely got a smokin deal with the prices of S54’s in general. I did spend a lot of time studying what to do and what not to do. The swap took me about 35 days. I didn’t have to do emissions since I have classic car insurance I would have had to source a few other parts, it can be done though.

@@MotorsportThrottle 35 days thats impressive . California is a whole different animal when it comes to engine swaps, but like you said enough time and money is doable

@@MotorsportThrottle Thanks Man! Do you have any ideas for wheels? I am going to need more rubber than 8.5 in 245's My fenders are rolled
85k on S54 WITH tranny for $3500 is not a great deal, it’s a give away deal of a year! Nice work!
i'd be interested if you ever decide to sell man. beautiful car and beautiful build!

I’d probably say around 320-330whp with this tune, maybe more if I upgrade my intake to a CAI
