isn't the slr motor just a revised 5.4L supercharged?

Wouldn't he be better off with the e63 motor since its a 6.2L?
Well... the M113K from the SLR can readily be tuned up over 700 bhp - not sure if the came can be said for the 6.2L (I guess with enough money thrown at the project, almost anything's possible). Plus, since he already has an M113, it might be an easier swap to go M113 => M113K than to go M113 => M156, but that's just a guess on my part.

Been a little busy

Sorry guys i have been a little busy..i will have to get you guys some pics. I am in Virginia right now, my father had an anurism(sp) and has bleeding in the brain. He is at Fairfax Hospital in critical condition. This all started Monday night. They pulled me from a FTX via RedCross message and i got the next flight up. I still appreciate all of the ideas..much will be on hold though for now, as family comes first. I am at the house and just got his computer to access. Anyway, i will get you my "portfolio" as soon as i can.

I think it should be possible since the e63 motor is already built for FI and it has more displacement. I think the only concern would be how well the tranny can hold up under that much power.

The 5 speed tranny is rated for something ungodly like 1000+ hp. The 7 speed is the one that can't take much more than I believe it was around 500hp or so.
