    I've decided to do the swap myself with my uncle, and hopefully everything works out.. Because like you guys said, I know, I'd rather do it myself and know everything about it.

      Either route you take will be a good decisions and will be very fun. Don't forget everyone this guy came from a Merc c240. Any e30 with some balls will be a much more exciting car to drive. Most people are happy with the performance after a 24v swap. And rarely find the need to turbo afterwards. If you wanna turbo afterwards maybe look for a bigger gearbox like a g260 or zf. I havnt heard of much people boosting with a g240 maybe someone can chime in with what I wrote

        My mothers minivan was more exciting to drive ;) jk, lmao

        I personally think I might just stick with the N/A M52 option, unless later on I want to turbo.

            I doubt that'd be in my price range :(

                I'm already interested. I'm just waiting to sell my truck at the moment, it's worth like $20k retail and 17.5k private party average.
                I'll let it go for $15k if someone offers me.

                Just see if you can keep the A/C on, I really need A/C in a car.

                I'll try to contact you once I sell the truck. It'd save me a lot of time since school is about to start if I just buy a swapped car.
