i don't know the wieght of a ls1 swap in that car, but i DO know the ls1 weighs only 30 lbs more than a fd rx7 rotary engine, and when you put the ls1 in a fd it gets nearly PERFECT 50/50 weight distribution.
whatever though, i own an american car and HATE euro snobs. i hope you waste alot of $ on that e46 swap and some guy with a STOCK ls1 swap (((( 3500$ at most ))))) in a e36 with boltons SMOKES you in a straight line AND around the twisties  with all your head and cams and that jazz.
american junk huh?  how about overpriced underpowered torqueless euro yuppie junk! haha |
The 50/50 weight distribution actually kind of ruins the FD. A little rear bias is better for corner exits and the entries as well, this was the downfall of the S2k, the 50/50 weight distribution.
European cars aren't all about power. The build qualty and everything about them is just a little bit better. They may be a little overpriced at first but they do hold there value the best, and I must say way better than your average american car (I say average because I know the Vipers hold their value pretty dam.n well.).
