sweet shiz, Alex, looking forward to further development.

So to get the dual vanos to fit the S52 head, you had to grind away some material, then weld and machine on the front exhaust side of the head? Where any other modifications necessary anywhere else?

Very excited about this build, good luck!

[rukman]

Very nice! Use of double vanos should give you great area under the curve.

[5mall5nail5]

Very cool - but interested to see how this turns out.

Thats what i was hoping for. e36s seem to be dying out due to age, and e46s are getting cheap but hard to make power out of the silly puddy head bolt threads.

wow what a sore subject... I wish shark edit was around. we sould call it unicorn edit because it will never actually exsist

Good work OP. Are those stock s52 cams in that box or something like the 330 performance package 1's?
