gathering parts for my s52 swap

[Mistawall]

i have a 91 318is
OK SO FAR I HAVE OBTAINED
98 M3 s52 w/ wiring harness and comps ( Need to delete EWS and..? SAP?)
zf transmission
3.23 lsd with no flanges ( i guess i can just take the flanges from my 4.10 thats in my car?)
mz3 diff cover
e34 oil pan stuff


AND I NEED
driveshaft (would any m3 drive shaft work?)
Flywheel with clutch? ( are there any cheap alternatives or should i just find a used one?)
mounts mounts and other mounts.

ive been trolling the forums like crazy and i have a good idea of what i need to do just some questions. i havent started anything on my car yet just gathering parts. any recomendations? should i do the e36 sterring rack swap?>

96-99 4 bolt flange driveshaft from 328/m3. Make sure it is a 4 bolt flange.

There are many flywheel options, research and decide what is best for you. A good clutch with a single mass e30 flywheel shaved is a god cheap option.

If you are thinking about doing a rack swap, you would be ignorant not to do it whil the engine is out.

yea i think I'm gonna start searching for the steering rack. now i was planning on just reusing my m42 radiator, is that reccomeneded?

You live in CT, heat shouldn't be an issue. Do you plan on running A/C?

Id like too ive read a few posts about retro fitting the e36 compressor to the e30 condenser and what not. Gotta understand it better, but ac sure would be nice!
