Do you think it would be possible (that is, without having to make major modifications) to place an E34 3.8L M5 engine in my car? 347HP would be nice.....

its always possible, but ask yourself at what cost?
i'm speaking with no previous experience but i'd imagine
a lot of custom fabrication will be needed as our cars and
engine aren't nearly as swappable as hondas are.

buy one and have it shipped over as a parts car? Is that possible? If so, then

3.6l m5 (http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15317&item=2484713075&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

build date 3/94...that could a 3.8l. This one's got a high reserve and is in good condition as it's been on a couple times with no winner (http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38695&item=2484391542&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

Here's a 91 with a tink on the left corner. (http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38695&item=2484713928&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

then there's will zareska, he might have motor or one that's ready for US.

Well if you thinking of doing it DIY, then it will be pretty tough. Basically the things that need to be swap are the engine, transmission, rear axle+differential, Wirings, DME, Suspension and etc.

Well, I ask because I have a friend who is parting out his E34 M5 (totalled in a crash) and I am wondering if I should take it....
