Hi everyone I am going to be ls swapping my 1997 M3 (1998 body harness from crashed M3) with a ls1 I found locally. I plan to use the sikky kit (opinions please). I plan to use a t56 magnum as well. My main question right now about the swap is how am I going to register it? I am in Virginia and there are no laws against engine swaps that I know of except it must have functioning emissions controls. So my questions are 1) has anyone done this before 2) did you hook up the e36 emissions equipment or retrofit Chevy stuff 3) or I could avoid all of that and set monitors to ready with hptuners (or another tuning utility?) one problem I have thought of is the ecu wont have the correct vin- has anyone been able to program a ls1 ecu with a bmw vin? Or does it not matter?

Thanks!
