surely it is possible to just modify the chassis in order to just accept the engine and transmission, possibly have a custom prob made up and mate to sierra diff. and normal suspension?

If you do go to the lengths o using as much from a BMW as pos, then I think that is no mean feat but will require alot of time and effort and drawing board time.

As I've said in another post about donors, sierras are getting thin on the ground to find in some places and not others, but BMWs and co do appear to be in more plentiful supply, but are the tuning options as competitive as all the ford ones?

Would be interested to see what the differences are and adv/disadvantages are of a BMW build... would see a new book or a supplement to loval readers should they fancy a go Chris?
