for some stupid reason, i decided to buy my brothers 1986 bmw 535i. it ran and drove and is in decent shape. but the rear main seal pukes oil. and seeps coolant here and there. so instead of doing the sensible thing and repairing the stock engine. I've decided to drop in a 5.3 truck engine and 4l80e. the over all goal is to keep this as cheap as possible. I'm looking to keep it under 5k if possible.
L33 5.3 out of a friends wrecked truck. 109k
brought it home in my subaru
picked up a lowish milage 4l80e
annnnnd made a mess in my parents driveway
progress from here will be slow going because of school and junk. but my ultimate goal will be to make bimmerfest at the beginning of august
