I have a 4.0 v8 engine from a 530i that I did a LS3 swap on tbat had the 540i 4.0 V8 5 speed swap already done to it. But I'm trying to swap thks v8 into my 733i. I know the (diff) will hold that kind of power and I have a shop building me a custom Driveshaft to fit in it and a shop bending a pipe for my exhaust. I have the complete wiring harness and steering column with the key as well. However I sold pretty much everything else a long time ago. I want to get this car back on the streets asap. What else would I need and what are some good junkyards I can call and check up? I need the ecu tuned, and looking for custom ipad mini cluster guage it needs an ODB1 set up to work properly. I live in Seattle but am always traveling across the US in one of my cars so the location isn't a problem. Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Sounds like a great swap. A few e28 guys are now swapping this engine into their chassis. Would make a great daily driver cruiser. Not sure about a drifter but hey why not.

Here is a thread from a guy in Norway who put an M60B30 into a 732iA.

Having a 90-degree V, the M60 is a wide motor. You can see in his build he had to move the brake master cylinder over to the mounting position normally reserved for a clutch master, and he seems to have swapped steering boxes as well.

I am doing the 4.4l and 6spd conversion soon, lots of work, but the parts drop in without too much trouble.
The thread mentioned above has lots of great pics showing how the E23 was almost made to fit a V8.
