quick question
i was checking on engines and parts i will need if my engine takes a dump. i have a ls1 383 stroker that pushes 450 hp with 492 ft lbs of torque. it was made for my 96 impala ss. i have the wire harness , everything for the engine. even a trans. i was wondering if the situation ever came up could it be possible to one day put that into the x? 2003 x5 4.4

well it is and it might not be.... im asking if there is a possibility. i have herd of chevy 350's in bmw cars. i have this engine sitting. if one day i need to use it. im going to get a 4.6 or 4.8 and supercharge it. i think it would be cool to have a x5 with a chevy stroker engine in it. if i have all the parts..... i dont see why this could not happen. the only thing that im worried about is the wiring. if i do it i would still want all of the bmw guages and everything to still be the same. this is just a question. that could turn into the real thing.

It will not work unless you use the 4.6 tranny and ecu and tranny software. better off fixing the 4.8 that is blown. take your time with it

What happened to your 4.8?
I'd ask an indy shop what they think, personally I think the electrics of the swap would cause you more headache than it's worth. BTW, are you sure the engine didn't suffer from the impact? Doesn't look too good...

That swap would be more trouble than it's worth... The engine is different as the 4.8is is a valvetronic motor so the harness and DME are completely different... The transmission is different, the transfer case is different, and all of the control modules need to communicate with eachother. The only way to do that would be to swap out the whole drivetrain and all of the computers and the whole body harness as there are extra computers on the 04 that aren't on the 03, such as the transfer case control...
Basically, it can't realisticly be swapped, So I'd stick with either your current rebuilding project or buying a longblock or shortblock used, maybe LKQ has an engine for a decent price. http://www.lkqonline.com/default.aspx
