    M50 swap basic questions

    Thinking about getting an m50 and swapping out my m42.
    I need a different ecu, where do I get one for it?
    Can I use the tranny off my m42? or do I need something else?
    Thats it for now, thanks!

    The answer is that you need to do a little tiny, tiny bit of research.

      You can get your ECU from a number of places, search ads high and low, ebay, craigslist, you know the drill. There is a sticky covering right about everything. I have been reading this too...http://www.e30dohc.com/wiki/index.ph...HC_Swap_Basics
