Craigslist Find: '67 BMW 1600/2002, Buick V8 Swap

When planning a motor swap for a small car like a 2002 or a 510, you have to consider the very real possibility that your dream swap may overpower the chassis. The sensible choice is to keep torque low and power high so that everything remains predictable or sink more time and money into the chassis. This 2002 looks to have been built to keep this all aluminum Buick 215ci in check. The wide box flares, cage, posi, T5 trans, and big disk brakes look to be top quality. The four downdraft Weber carbs look, sound, and should perform amazingly. That being said, the Webers need to be rebuilt and re-tuned. Not an easy task, even for those who are very familiar with carburetors. Find this balanced monster here, in Mission Viejo, CA, for $20,000.
