    Swapping LS3 and 6-speed manual into E39 525i

    Hi,

    I'm new to this forum, but have seen a lot of great information on it. Thanks for that! I apologize in advance for my ignorance.
    I am starting a swap for my 2002 525i with 195k miles and have tons of questions. First off, can I still get JesusFreak mounts? One of the swap kits I was looking at (Sikky) was just discontinued.

    Thanks in advance. MikeJV

    T56 Transmission swap shifter relocation problem

    I'm in the middle of an LS Swap that includes a conversion to a manual transmission and it looks like my shifter is going to need to be repositioned about 10 inches rearward. Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions.

    Thanks.

    Mike, you'd get more info over on the Engine Conversion page that I think you've been on before.
    You picked a great engine to put in an E39.

    I'll follow your thread.
    I'm putting an LS3 in a Factory Five '33 Ford.
