Terry looks like a young Mohammed Ali.

Terry's face when Rich said the engine was for his daughter lmfao

[CarWizard]

The harvest was indeed good. Blessed be the name of Rich.

Whenever you do these LS swaps, I'd always recommend grabbing the 2010 Corvette water pump and then grab a CTS-V accessory drive (04-07 is best). Werksracing has a kit if you can't find them yourself for the Sky/Soltice that will work. That will give you far more room in front of the engine for large radiators and good fans.

The funny thing is how many people believe this is actually for his daughter...This is for her in the same way the van was for Leenda...

Dad's two answers to everything 1: Duck Tape 2: LS Engine Swap

[jefflindeman]

Check the trunk for the welds on the floor. With the Z3M the rear subframe attaches to the floor and the welds break and the hanger underneath break. Especially putting a LS in it.

Uncle Rich got Muhammad Ali to help him build lol

[NotChrisHemsworth]

You know you made it when Muhammad Ali LS-swaps your Z3. Nice one Uncle Rich!

[stacymcmahon]

Are we going to talk about how that rusted out block all of a sudden had nice clean bores after the cam was installed?

[jigglypuff]

thought the guy at 2:50 was mohammed ali

Rich always inspires me to only focus on the parts that I need to work on and leave the rest of the dirt and rust where I found it

[WildMist]

As a mechanic I can't believe how real you keep it when dealing with builds, most of this stuff reminds me of how I would deal with these issues working at a "non specialist" shop. That's why this is one of the reasons I keep coming back to this channel

0:44 your son looks like he wants a car too 😭😭😭

[TheRealAlpha]

0:40 The look on his son's face is priceless.

[timlad]

How dare you put a non leaking engine into the ultimate oil leaking machines that are known as BMWs. Looks really good Sir Rich great work.

[DiscoFang]

Hey, who knew Muhammed Ali was an LS swap go-to guy. 2:39

[Dirtyz]

The sentiment about never sending anything to a machine shop is REAL 😂

[ryanwaege]

I was relieved when I saw the license plate heat shield. Glad to see your 'rig it til it works' roots are alive and kicking!

We don't have an alignment tool...uses propshaft to align clutch, cuts to next frame with a clutch with an alignment tool in it on the floor. Cheers!
