Hi all, I'm new here and am beginning a long time dream of doing an e30 engine swap. So I impulsively purchased a rotted out 97 328 with an s52 swap..I think...it was super cheap and the motor had lots of power, could break the tires lose into 3rd gear. Without an real knowledge of how to i.d the motor I took the guys word for it. So long story short i am trying to i.d the motor so I can start to do this project properly...it could be an m50 with m3 plastic.....it doesn't have an aluminum oil filter housing. I have the motor out, trans out and computer out. I cant find any identifying marks on the block or head, lots of rust on the block (thanks Michigan winters). So anyone know what to look for when trying to i.d and unknown motor?
Thanks
Mario
