So This will be more BMW and a bit less LT1
Check out my latest video here! But still I will have a lot of LT1 questions. Especially about fitment and aftermarket parts. If you all are not sure you want to see more of this swap since it's more BMW and less LT1, let me know. I'll understand. But I will tell you this - and it's MORE LT1 related than anything!
I'd like to know what the others do given these setbacks. I wonder if the T56 is better suited for this application? There were some other things I noticed with regards to the transmission.
Other than that, Some interferences to be expected. Seems to fit pretty well. I will need to redesign the entire front subframe, relocate the steering system to a rack-pinion to be in FRONT of the axle (as opposed to the originally rear mounted drag link box system). So new spindles will need to be fabricated, which will be wild! Enjoy the pictures! Here's the E24 635csi - 1985 M30 has already been removed, so this makes things a bit easier. Some issues on the E24 as you see below: Now let's take out the LT1: Got the LT1 out and ready to throw in! Got it in, not from above actually - got from underneath, but next time I do this I'm using the lift. I got some interferences. Overall, it has potential to fit quite nicely! It's currently being suspended by jack stands. A lot of fabrication work will need to happen to the front subframe and the steering rack.

Some more work done! So I moved the E24 to the lift and decided to retry test fitting the LT1 in there. So I removed the wiring harness, front accessories, and also removed items from the E24 including hydroboost, ABS, and power steering reservoir such that I can install the LT1 from underneath and observe what my serious interferences are. And in this case, it appears that I do have interferences, but primarily from the transmission (TR6060). it's a wide casing back there! A couple pictures of where I'm at and my latest video of progress.

Awesome build! Something quite interesting I look forward too
And to those saying the 6 series is a collectors car, go collect stamps or something, cars are meant to be driven and the customer who requested this clearly wants to drive his car

Bringing back an old thread so maybe OP can talk about this build. It looks like he kept moving along.
