Props for an awesome project.... This needs a passenger-side video for its first run, that's for sure.

Great project! Gives my an idea. Find a 3-series and put a 3.8 grand national v-6 in it or find a 7 series and put a ZO6 motor in it. How is the drive shaft going to match up to the BMW center section?
