Home of the BMW 325 SBC conversion

Here are some Pictures of my BMW 325 Powered by a Small Block Chevy
Check back often for more Pictures and Updates.

I purchased this car in the winter of 2000. It had a bad transmission. I figured the only way I wanted to own a BMW would be if I could update the drive-train. A small block chevy V8 conversion was performed. I installed a 350 Chevy and a 700R4 Transmission. The car is a blast to drive. The car gets 20+miles to the gallon and produces a little less than 300HP. The engine specs are based on the 300HP GM Vortec Crate motor. Reliability and performance is what I was looking to get out of this drive-train combo.

FORTSON’S Auto Body (330-297-0442) Straightened the car out and laid the Raspberry Poly paint on the car. Base Coat/Clear coat was used. It is a real head turner.

If you know of any conversions of this type send me some email at waltb@kent.edu and I’ll add links to them.

· January 2004 How about an LS1 BMW conversion? Mike Collins has a nice web page detailing his work.

· January 2004 This 83 BMW has a healthy 400hp 355 Small Block installed.

Bill Williamson only needs a radiator and the exhaust finished and he’s on the road.
