Title Page: Vorshlag Motorsports makes many LS swap kits for BMWs. This one is designed to swap Gen III/IV engines into E36 BMWs (E-series). The kit is available in many stages from bare-bones engine and transmission mounts to everything you need, including headers and driveshaft.
Back Cover Photos
Top Left: A stock harness can be used “as-is” in the swap, or can be given the “wire diet” by cutting off the loom and removing the wires that are not needed. This is a great way to get to know the engine’s wiring in detail. Keeping track of each wire can be a bit of a headache, though.
Top Right: These AN-style lines on the Rock Valley tanks are a little larger than a hose with a clamp. The fuel-sending unit was wired up as well. (Photo Courtesy Street & Performance)
Middle Left: Rather than purchase pre-made motor mounts, Mike Magnuson fabricated a set using 1/8-inch plate steel.
Middle Right: Install the collar on the hose. The hose should be 1/16 inch from the threads on the inside of the collar. Wrap tape around the hose at flush with the base of the collar.
Bottom Left: Bolting the adapters to the engine is pretty simple: four socket head bolts and you are done. Make sure to use some anti-seize compound to prevent galling of the different metals.
Bottom Right: For autocross and road-race applications, you need a well-designed pan to ensure that the engine has a constant supply of oil. This pan fabricated by Canton features a front sump as well, which makes it a good choice for rear-steer vehicles. (Photo Courtesy Blane Burnett)
