The M6/M5 engine will be about $5,000.00 alone. Turboing that motor seems to be a waste since the compression would need to be lowered in order for it to work. Dinan has/had a turbo motor but the cost would be way to high if you could find one, I think. This just my opinion on this. For me if there was a M5/M6 engine available drop it in and have fun with a sleeper 7. Chip it and upgrade the cams and put sport cars to shame in the big Sedan!

While I was bored out of my mind at work, I came up with the idea of putting a M6 engine and slapping on the turbo assembly from a 745 into a normal 5spd e23 shell... now I'm, just curious of if its possible and how much it would cost if I could do it? (I thought of an e38 with a new M5 engine and tranny too, but the cost is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my league)

Thanks,
~James
