Any idea where to buy BMW motors from?

I'm not planning on starting this project immediately so I'll continue to look around for something. Any other suggestions for a motor? I'm looking for something rev happy that will mate okay with a Porsche Trans-axle (I found a company will to make me an adapter for just about any motor).

Awesome car.

Have you considered calling Katech and asking them what they suggest for your preferences? They may be able to suggest something that revs like you like (their Sneak Attack LS7 revs to 8000).

Interesting, may look into that. Maybe I can destroke an LS3 with close results.
