With enough time and money anything can fit, but why when there is so many other options.

As Kapetajr said...enough money and time, and anything can fit. In all honesty, would the end results be worth the dollar amount, and customization that would go into this swap? There are so many other options out there...either way good luck, and keep us posted!

I would like this to be done. I have seen an BMW M5 with a 2JZ, but not this direction....

I am subscribed in this build, if you decide to do it.

If someone took OUT an M5 engine to replace it with a 2JZ, you can't help but wonder, hmm....

will it fit? yes, theres plenty of room for a nice v8, be it a 1uz, lsx, or other motor of your choosing.

will it bolt right up? hell no!! expect to have custom motor mounts and a custom engine harness made at a minimum. a lot of time and money will need to be invested to get it to run and drive properly.

LOL so true, I hope you are rich because BMW is underpowered compared to the jz series not to mention Unreliable.

As nice as the S62 was for a BMW motor, it's not a JZ. Not even close.
