It says all wheel drive in the title but I don't see how it can be.
I really like the lumpy choppy exhaust sounds.
It's making me want to de resonate mine and replace with two straight pipes..

It was a v8 already so I guess they just bolted the LS v8 engine up to the box with an adaptor plate and its still 4x4 , should go pretty well now though I doubt the gearbox will last very long :driving:

That would be tricky.. The V8 bmw has one of the front driveshafts going through the engine and the front diff bolted on the side so that would have to go if a different V8 was plumbed in. Soz for the correction...
