The Z4 is a great chassis in terms of it's rigidity and design, so it should be able to handle the power quite easily. Seems like a great platform for any type of swap.
How hard was fitting the engine in the engine bay? Did you have to modify the oil pan, sway bar, steering rack, or anything of that nature?
Just out of curiousity, how much heavier is the V10 compared to the I6 that you pulled out? |
Many things had to be changed to fit the engine.
Oil pan, exhaust manifold, fire wall, transmission tunnel and many others.
I got the complete weight of engine and gearbox together only.
Z4 3.0si: 240 kg = 530 lb
SRT-10: 330 kg = 728 lb
Total weight will be about 1300 kg = 2870 lb
including this roll cage:
