M62 BMW V8 Swap
Hey there everybody, new to posting but been reading all kinds of forums for years.
I’m currently swapping a m62 BMW v8 into my 1994 Miata!
Im super excited for this swap and cannot wait for it to be done.
I chose the BMW v8 because I’ve only seen 1 person do it with a m5 motor I believe out of Puerto Rico?
secondly it’s a lot lighter than an iron block ls witch for the price point I got the motor I couldn’t even have gotten that. All in all I think it would be a really cool light and fun swap. any info on the swap would be great or just useful input in general. This is my first swap and the wireing is the only real hurdle I’m trying to get past everything else is just a matter of cutting welding and installing aftermarket parts.
currently motor is just sitting on the stock subframe but looks like it will fit pretty well with a aftermarket oil pan and v8 roadsters subframe.
Thanks for any input hope everyone has a great day
ps check out my YouTube will be posting videos on it as I progress @Double_Trouble
