Could you do these headers with 1 7/8" primaries?
This tranny mount works for both a T56 and 4L60e (65 and 70 also), right?
I'm also curious about this kit also, pm me with details please. I'm looking into picking up another e39 when I get home from deployment and after reading swap after swap buikds, its too good to pass up on.
I'm interested as well. Please PM me pricing for your kit.
I see that the kit is for a 540 which has the same motor as my 2001 740I. Will the motor mounts and trans mount work for me?? PM w/ prices. Thank you This a is a future project for me.
Yes the kit does work on E38 7 Series I put a LM7 in a 2001 E38 740il and it fit the same as the E39.

Thanks,
I would love to do this swap but I'm scared of the electrical and wiring aspect of the project. I can fabricate parts but wires scare me
Sorry for the hijack... TDI If you can fabricate, you can wire. It is not difficult at all. There are many well documented swaps that make the wiring a breeze. It takes longer to get all the mechanical stuff dialed in. Don't let it scare you, do research instead!! Get the swap figured out on paper and then go for it. You will love it.
Please email a price for the full kit.
Thanks,

I've talked with some folks locally and they suggested looking into this conversion. Your descriptions and work looks great. I am interested in what the kit costs and any hand holding you could provide. I am looking at a built motor from Amerspeed (http://amerspeed.com/) or Nelson Racing (http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/). How is the oil pan clearance? Have you considered a dry sump? Any thoughts on the dry sump clearances? How did you deal with the exhausts? I appreciate any information you can provide. I am challenge with skills, tools, shop, etc. but I know a few shops locally that could assist given sufficient information. Thanks much.

Could you pm a price of the kit and breakdown. My M62 is leaking oil at the head gaskets and this could be a viable option if I sold off my Dinan supercharger setup and other goodies...

Hi kmelhorn,
Did you ever do the swap? What engine did you use? Just curious as I look at my own options...
Interested in prices itemeized for an 01 E39 540i Sport
Is this kit still available?
Thanks
Is kit still available at least the engine and trans mount will this work with an ly6 6.0 gen 4 and a 6l80 or 6l90 trans
Engine mounts will work. Trans mount will need to be modified. Trans mount is setup for a Fbody t56.
