Mike gave me back the E36, and because we have 2 stock E36s at the garage for parting out, i swapped my M3 parts for standard ones. I removed the Alpina lip too, they are up for sale. And one important thing: After the 320i the 740 feels like a rocket, so that M60 V8 engine would be great starting engine for the drift missle. With a proper exhaust and with litle fine tune it could easily produce like 340-350 bhp, which is enough for now, and has the potential to tune it more.

So thats it, i bought one M60B40 off the ebay for V$900. It has 289.000km in it, and came from a 95' 740i. It'll arrive tomorrow. And i've got a call from the port, they shipping the Omega tongight. Oh and i visited the local scrapyard too, and bought some E46 17 inch steelies with bad tyres for V$120, to clear the brakes, and they'll be great on the rear axle later.

Added 40 minutes later:

And the Omega has arrived! We took it home with the temporary registration plates, so i had an opportunity to drive it. It has the 3 litre straight six, with 168bhp. It moves the car really really nice(At the port they had to measure the car, and it is only 1150Kg!. Without the interior and with little modifications, i think i could keep it under 1000Kg). Anyway we took the car to the garage, and started to disassemble it. We removed almost every body panel. The chassis is in great condition only the paint has faded out(who cares), i did not find any rust on it, only at the rear arches, but i'll cut them off anyway, so thats not a problem.

((please ignore the RHD LHD swap, and the glass sunroof, i had to use a different mod for the stock Omega))









We removed the engine too, and measured the engine bay, and my 740s engine too, to create the engine stands by the time the M60 arrives. We put on the steelies too, because the alloys i found on the car are not some cheap opel spiderwebs, but original BBSs. i'll put them up for sale later.
