First off.....i'm the dummy. I have an 88 325i convertible with a 5 speed that i would like to swap an M50 into. I have a complete, running 91 525i with 5speed transmission, it has 137k on it but seems to have a slight knock on the bottom. My plan was to refresh the engine with new gaskets, and main seals and check the "knock on the bottom" and use the whole drivetrain in the 525i, engine, trans, drive shaft and shift linkage.
My question(s) are as follows: (1.) What brake booster is easiest to use? Direct swap would be best if possible. (2.) should i use the 260 trans currently in my E30 or the trans in the e34. (3.) Which motor/engine mounts are best. (4.) Are there any other parts i need to complete the swap.
