I don't quite understand, why did you use different pistons yet retained the stock compression rate, knowing, you'll supercharge the engine? With 8,5:1 compression ratio you'd run a bit higher...

My auto gearbox was rebuilded 2 times in 150k miles, the first rebuild at ca. 95 k miles was good for 25k miles, the last one could also last just 20k miles or 1,5 years.

Normally, even stock 4.8 N62s have about 230-235 whp or like 330-335 bhp instead of 350 claimed bhp. I saw a dyno chart with 225 whp AFTER remapping. On the same dyno my 4.6is with Hartge headers...

A tipycal labour charge is between 45 and 70 euro, but you can always arrange a fixed price. So the flywheel and clutch replacement on V8 powered E39 would normally cost 200-250 Euro.

Hi!

Since there are Quaife and Drexler LSDs for E53, it seems to be much easier way to get the axles locked. But I saw, the older front Diff is adaptable quite easily for E53.

I'm considering...

I also don't think there will be that much interest for such a conversion, still 5-6 kits might be realistic.
