My new project e36 with m62 block & m60 headers.

[dovlet]

Dear friends, have a look on my current project with m62 block & m60 headers. I am planing to get 350 HP on flywheel.572283

subscribed! this looks fun.

Couple of months and it will be on wheels. Perhaps I will install on that my SC which I have on my e39.

Wow!

You do know that M60 headers are identical to M62 non vanos and are nothing special, definitely not performance upgrade.

You do know that M60 headers are identical to M62 non vanos and are nothing special, definitely not performance upgrade.

Is it? But how you can explain next:
1. M60 has 4L engine with 286 HP.
2. M62 has 4.4L engine with the same 286 HP.
Any way I will check it again but am sure that they are not the same. Will keep you updated.

First of all, I wish you all the best with your project and I don't mean to sound negative and discouraging just supply you with the facts:
I know for a fact and many here will confirm that M62 pre vanos, M60 and almighty S62 come with the same "not the best design headers from factory" but here is the proof:

As for the HP rating, there are many factors involved besides the headers:

There is different in cam shafts timing and some other parts. I am not English native and can do not know name of some parts. Overall it has stronger springs on axhaust and intake valves on headers.
