Pretty interesting stuff, I'm curious to see how this turns out.

All the old pics are broken man.

Curious about the vertical engine too, planning to go dry sump on this?

My brtother watched Ken Block and his Hoonycorn and plan's changed! He wanted something similar but than al BMW so this is the list of how it get's build now:

BMW E9 body
Tubular frame
BMW S62 engine
Cadillac supercharger
E46 front suspension with Wisefab hi angle kit
E90 rear axle

We got an engine from the US which will get rebuild but we are making the adapter for the Caddy S/C first.

Sorry, I only got 3 picture now:

This has got to be the craziest BMW mod project (keeping in mind it started as one project, but has now apparently morphed into a second) I've ever seen. And I've seen crazy BMW mod projects for a long, long, long time.

Are those trailer fenders?

I like the chassis jig.

I'm glad you scrapped the e12, they are junk.

They are actualy small ponds! Trailer fenders are so......trailer fender like!

Was just thinking about this project on Friday. So glad for these updates. What's the story on that supercharger?

It fits really nice inside the S62 banks. This one was only $500,- and new. It is a Eaton M122.
A friend of us works at a company with CNC mills and lathes. He designed an adapter for the S62 heads and the Caddy charger.
I'm really curious how it should go with it. We are going to run it with a MS3 pro and Bio-ethanol.

More has been done.

A mock up of how it will look:

S65 manifolds prepped for a 3" collector:

And the 3" dual exhaust with X-pipe and side exits

Such a cool project. I am working on something like this every night in my dreams.

Jelmer538i · Post by **Jelmer538i** » Mar 15, 2019 3:56 AM

A lot have been done to this one the last couple of month's. Me and a friend have been working on it pretty frequently.

Due to under hood room we made a 90 degree brake booster / master cylinder setup using heim joints, a Nissan booster and E46 pedal.

We also made templates out of cardboard which will be duplicated in aluminium.

Mind the drain pipe driveshaft.....

Brackets to hold the fibeglass ass up

After that we took its head off because it was a (rusted) sunroof car

Making the templates for the fiberglass front

A 4 row aluminium Chevy squarebody radiator will do the cooling

Santa was late this time!
