BMW S65 MT in a 1933 Ford Roadster

In33anity · 02-18-2014, 08:17 PM

Very much appreciate all the comments. JAdamz pm me whenever you want to see it. This is truly a weekend build as I'm doing the build at my beach house 90 miles from the City where I am during the week. But I'll definitely be posting regular updates of the progress. I've certainly learned alot on this forum and am open to all ideas/advice/suggestions from a group as intimately expert with the S65 as this one!

BPMSport · 02-19-2014, 01:05 AM

Amazing project!

Reminds me of the deuce coupe I used to drive on the weekends years ago!!

I can't imagine it with an S65 in it!! Kudos to you!

Richbot · 02-19-2014, 11:29 AM

Jesus. What an awesome project. Kudos and hope you can complete to your satisfaction.

Got some goodies from Active and began the process og mocking up the radiator, intercooler and grille mounts.

Then pulled the motor to pull the pan to send to VAC for baffling

Irishace · 03-01-2014, 09:55 PM

Tell me you are not attaching a blower? Wow

Hujan · 03-01-2014, 10:41 PM

Dare I say a blown S65 might be too much power in this application? It's so light, it makes me nervous to think about it.

Hats off ... you have the passion, funds, time and support to accomplish this. I have no doubt you will savour every moment of this epic build. Good luck!

gobuffs · 03-03-2014, 08:20 AM

Have you bought the Pectel? I ran my S54 on a Pectel and had some issues. Support in the US was great, support from Cosworth itself sucked. My S65 motor swap uses the stock ECU.

spdy330 · 03-03-2014, 09:00 AM

Great job!

Erie Von Otto · 03-03-2014, 10:49 AM

Excellent!

Subby-sub-subbed!

SflBimmer8484 · 03-14-2014, 11:56 AM

This thing is going to fly with a Level 2!
