The engine bay now holds twice the number of cylinders. The owner installed swapped to a 5.0 L BMW M70 V12 on a custom subframe. They also fabricated a set of custom headers and exhaust. The motor still runs on the factory ECU but with a modified chip allowing full power below 4,500 rpm.

Behind the V12 is a BMW M3 manual transmission with a PMC Motorsport adapter. The bigger BMW transmission required a custom tunnel to cover it. The final piece of the drivetrain is a Ford 8.8-inch rear end.
