Engine Swaps & Drivetrain Work

Modern power in a classic with the details that make it reliable. Fitment, mounts, cooling, fuel delivery, driveline geometry, and road-tested drivability.

Integration That Holds Up

A proper swap isn’t just “it fits.” Cooling, plumbing, driveline angles, shifter placement, fuel system safety, and serviceability all matter. We build swaps to be driven—not just started once.

Turbo engine build example

Fitment & Mounting

Engine/trans placement with practical access for service. Correct positioning and packaging—no “close enough” shortcuts.

Engine bay layout and packaging

Cooling & Packaging

Radiator space, fan strategy, hose routing, and heat management planned up front so it runs stable in real conditions.

6-speed transmission integration

Transmission & Driveline

Shifter placement, mount solutions, and geometry that drives like a finished car—smooth, predictable, and road-ready.

M42 Swap Integration

Compact, rev-happy BMW power with modern reliability. Fitment, mounts, cooling, and the wiring details that make it start clean and run consistently.

Wiring + Bay Cleanup

Deleting old hacks, repairing aging harness sections, and integrating sensors/ECU so the bay stays serviceable and the car behaves like a finished build.

S52 Swap Fitment

Higher output, tighter packaging, and more detail work. Cooling strategy, driveline geometry, and proper integration so it drives hard without weird issues.

Built to Be Driven

The reliability comes from the small decisions: routing, clearances, heat management, and service access. The goal is consistent hot/cold behavior, stable temps, and clean drivability.

  • ✓ Correct mount placement and driveline angles
  • ✓ Cooling and fan strategy that works in traffic
  • ✓ Clean harness integration (no mystery splices)
  • ✓ Practical routing for serviceability
