Default Ford powered E30 BMW

Just a formal hello I suppose. I've been a member for years but haven't owned a Ford since I was 19. I've built several cars. The last was a WRX which ended up being one of the fastest USDM powered 2.0l in the country. Fun car but VERY expensive to mod. My transmission was $6500 and I broke it the first day at the track. No fun. The older I have gotten the more I have realized there really is no substitute for displacement. Aside from that, 600whp out of a 2.0l motor is only going to last but so long, built or not. 5-600 out of a 5.8 in a 2500lb car should be much more reliable. That's the plan at least.Just trying to figure out the direction I need to go with heads and internals to rich my goals. Swap is pretty straight forward.

Welcome back, sounds like an interesting build. Post some pics I'm sure others would find this interesting also.
