HELLM3 S65 repower project

Recommended Posts

Project: Convert E46 HELLM3 into a S65/manual E46/E92 hybrid.

Our approach will differ to the other more complicated ways of making things fit.

We aim to not tamper with steering and suspension setup.

Started with a donor E46 to use as a mockup with a cutoff wheel taken to a subframe.

Engine /gearbox placement has been achieved quite nicely (great skills `HellBoy`)

Engine mounts ,gearbox mounts,exhaust to be fabricated by Quest.

To compensate for the extra height added by the E65 plenum we will fabricate an E92 M3 bonnet

dome onto the E46 M3 bonnet.

Pics will tell the story.

Perfect design, love that graceful curve on the drivers side.

PS, Good to have a brief catch up today!
