With all these little cars running LS engines I wondered how this could be that it wouldn't fit. I am wondering what the dimensional differences are with the S65 and LSX. Does anyone have any data on the S65 whereby I could use it for comparison?
Not sure about the E90, but my buddy just swapped an LS with a single turbo into an E46 325 sedan...... Fit just fine! He is making 1000HP on pump gas with it.
