Awesome! I'm down to see some pics too. I see a lot of FDs with the V8 swap but not many FCs. I'd like to hear what kinds times you run as well

Hi guys, thanks for the comments and the welcoming to the forum! I been on BMW forums for many yrs and this is my first car out of the Barvarians, lol.
anyhow, Im having problems w my photobucket so im just posting these pics for now.
Im going to ditch the body kit, the 19's for stock 91 front and some 18x10's all around with BC Coilovers, will keep you guys posted as the upgrades come in
Details on motor;
PO Said it made close to 400rwhp.

6.0L Cast Iron Block
LS1 Heads with mild work
a mild cam (Unknown)
Headers, not sure which ones yet
T2 DIFF
12 gallon fuel cell in the stock location w W255Pump
and some other stuff, Unfortunatelly the PO bought it built and didnt know what the car had, seems like the guy that built it put a lot of time and effort.
Hopefully i can take to the next level.
Here are some crappy pics I have for now..
