Weird Engine In A-Body

Not gonna lie... I've thought of putting an 80's BMW 3.5L "slanted" 6 from a 83-88 535i in my A body. Same legendary reliability but with fuel injection and a 5-speed mated to it, ~200HP/200 ft lbs and 25 MPG in a boxy car of similar weight to an A body. It even slants the same direction and the exhaust is on the passenger side so clearance issues with steering and trans linkage would be non-existant.

They are damn near plug and play, too. I've done swaps with them before (into other BMW's) and it was really easy.

But I'd still rather do a Mopar turbo 4 banger. :thumbup: I'm not a purist but I can't bring myself to cross-swap anything.

(now watch in 6 months when I find a $400 BMW....) :lol:
