M60 V8 conversion

Post by sideways ludi »

Good day to you all

My first post on my looming project, planning an M60 v8 conversion into an e28. I am planning on using an e34 as donor vehicle and was hoping for some guidance on the project.

I have searched various forums in regards to this conversion but come up with very little, are there any threads on here that could help me?

Also, got a set of alpina replicas 225/45/17 almost new, will these fit an e28 straight or would I need spigot rings etc?

Thanks

Ludi

It has been done before. Look for stuff from bmw4aaron (he has sold the car since then, though.) I don't know how much of a build thread he did though.

In this thread the builder did not have to rebuild the transmission tunnel.

In this thread the builder did though.

For starters. However you won't find document instructions like with 24v conversions in E30's. This is a project where if you start you solve the problems as you go.
