i'm considering going with building a s50 e30... i have a motor that i can get at a good price 120k mi. for $1,700+trany and harness. and i can do most the work myself, pull both motors and gather all the parts needed to do the swap, then have a shop install the s50 into an e30.
i'd wana do s52 cams and heads to the motor prior to install. but what’s the true #’s on an e30 s50 (dinan chip, s52cams and ss rep headers) hp? Tq? 0-60? Weight?..
And can this be a realistic build for $3-6k: (i know FAQ but for the people that have done this, whats the $ amount for parts...) e30-$500, motor-$1,700, parts 1,300, laber for install only-$1,500... so are my #way off... i wana spend as Little as possible but i want it to be done right! selling my 98m3 for 8k...
Thanks
Aaron
