If you look on bimmerforums.com
You will find lots of info, you can reach out to the fab shops and etc to sort out the witting harness and etc.
look under engine swap !!

Good luck !
I think that is a gOod place to develop this conversation. I have seen all the swaps in other models and I have been contacting shops to get pricing and feedback thus this thread. I want to find the specific issues and try to plan how to deal with them.

This was my idea exactly. I am just having a hard time finding someone competent to take on the work. I want to really compare engine block dimensions. Tons of LSx specs but nothing to compare on the s65.
