    Stock E36 M3 only puts down like 200hp and I guarantee you have WAY more torque. But a stock 302 is a bit of a dog - the fact that it put down over 200 tells me it's gotta have something done to it. They're lucky to hit 190 stock.

    Exhaust is obviously done to it. 75mm BBK throttle body, stock sn95 intake and stock p heads.

    Enjoy the shopping. It's fun.

    There are a fair number of ready-to-go 347 longblocks out there in the $4k-$5k range with aluminum heads and a lumpy cam. House brand heads, or Dart Pro, though.

    Just a 347 shortblock runs around $2.5K, and that's only cast steel internals, not forged stuff. Probably a good match for the stock block. Top end, fuel pump, injectors, bigger diameter MAF, etc. At least I can tune it myself.

    I have finally worn out my salvage short block in two seasons of track. It's still powerful but the blow-by situation is past tolerable if I run over 5k rpms. I've had plenty of fun with doing this as a dirt-cheap track sleeper, and it has been a hit in the paddock, and runs even with the stock M3s. The platform has proven itself to me with some suspension work, so I'm ready to spend on some raw speed now, and see if it will run up front.
    If God meant for man to motor-swap LS engines into track cars, He wouldn't have created Corvettes.
