Another L83 swap :) 2006 BMW x5

Lots done, few things to finish on this swap

Rather excited the power steering brackets I designed worked really well with the 2020 style L84 waterpump. Didn't like the only bracket setup for the L84.. definaly think it looks cleaner hands down.

Are those things kind of portly, like 5100-6000 lbs ?

BUT its more aerodynamic than a square and has been labeled the Ultimate Driving Machine lol... but yeah, sticker is close to that (will edit it when I look at the sticker again).

It will defiantly be faster than when it started out in life, defiantly will be a sleeper (no cam for this one) and with its stock mufflers, sure to leave people surprised and maybe search for one to buy hahaha..
