Go and buy yourself a smashed E39 M5, 5.0 litre. 400 horses, already has throttle bodies on it so will just need and loom and ecu.

 

Stop fecking around and do it.

[Guest carl leonard]

You can buy an LS3 for around £4.5K (new) but then you need everything else to go with it. Straight away you'll be up to £6k.

 

Alternative route - go and find yourself a Vauxhall Monaro thats got rear end damage and written off by the insurance company, they have V8 fitted as standard. You could then make them a silly offer for the engine, box and ECU, wiring loom etc... Job done. I'd like to see one in a Robin Hood but you might need a parachute to stop the thing.

 

Good hunting

Forgot to mention, i've got a V8 in a cobra (Chevy 6.3L) and its easy to maintain but very heavy (very good in a light car). If you go down the LS route and things go wrong you need to be up to speed with electronics and not forgetting the cost!

Dan, you could get a whole M5 for les than that, strip what you need, sell the bits you dont andf make your money back. You may want to fit traction control aswell though
