    E34 Turbo LS Swap

    I just picked up a 95 525 to LS swap. I currently have an LS swapped ford focus and it is just not practical to drive around. I plan to swap the engine and transmision over to the e34.

    I yanked the engine out last week and I have started to work on mock up.

    Cool project! Looks like you have a great skill set — fabricated headers, custom mounts, RWD conversion. Looking forward to reading about progress on the BMW.

    Love both builds. I think there is so irony in the focus being to crazy for the street but your BMW is headed down a similar path ��
