      I would suggest asking on a BMW forum. Moving thread to Off Topic

      ok so the tittle is a complete lie. I was just trying to get your attention. since my viper is too nice of a car to take down a dirt road I wanted to do a 1985 bmw 318 v8 build. I was thinking either a 350 block or a 4.8 vortec motor. Does anyone know if im going to need to do a lot of welding? i.e what else will it need besides new motor mounts and trany crossmember? Will the suspension hold up the weight? I heard the breaks are good on the e30s as well. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

      So this post has nothing to do with a Viper, Viper engine or driveline…? Basically nothing whatsoever to do with a viper?

      Why is this still here?

      BTW… Who gives a sht about a 318 in ’85 BMW anyway…???

      Well, it is posted in “off topic”. We really don’t qualify the degree of “off”. 😉

      I thought the general was off topic. Anyways I know bmw is shit but I think it would be interesting if you drive up next to one, rolled down your windows to laugh only to hear a canned v8 XD just thought some of you viper gurus would be able o help me out with it.

      It’s in “Off Topic” now. It was in “General” when I commented.

      Sorry, didn’t mean to sound like a slam on BMWs.

      Yes we moved it. Guess I should have made that clearer so that it would not impact your post. My bad.

      See what happens when we begin down the road to BWM! LOL
