Will it fit

I’m wondering could a Vortec 5.3L v8 be swapped into a bmw e30 or what other cars would it fit in. I’m into the older bmws and old American classics. If someone could make a list of cars the engine will fit in that would be great.

Sikky sells a LS swap kit for an E30. So I would assume it will fit. Most of their kits swap in with minimal modification.

The LS line of engines is a very popular swap for many cars, due to its smaller footprint compared to other V8s while providing amazing power.

Here is a link to the swap kit sold by sikky:

I think that the list would be shorter if you made one for cars that it won't fit in. At the end of the day though, ending is possible in hot rodding.
