Oh an e36 + lexus v8 would be alot of fun to. I must say mines a blast to drive lol. There is a few e36s with v8 conversions but the thing is here in NZ is there is much more knowledge on e30s and a bigger following on them as well. I hope you go ahead with the conversion because it will be a special car and alot of fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
