According to a semi-local tuner swapping an LS1 into an E36 M3, the LS1 is actually 10 lbs lighter than the S50/2.

I saw a swap in progress last week and there are some challenges. The guy said the two hardest things so far were getting the gauges and a/c to work. Most just use autometer gauges but the guy wants to use the OEM cluster in this swap.

Personally, I would never do this.
