    ZF 5th is 1:1

    the only issue i have is that the e36 diff is open, id have to swap the diff in with the zf correct or is there a driveline that connects to the e30 diff from the zf?

    Ah interesting, I didn't think about that.. I'm going to put an m50 and s52 cams. I've been told that the m20 flywheel and drivetrain makes the m52 rev like a bike, that true? Also what do you have to do about the offset shifter?

    Getting ready for 24v swap, have some questions

    Morning, I'm going to be picking up an 86 325es within the next couple days and plan to do a m52b28 swap. I've got a few questions to ask before i get knee deep into it. I own a 96 328 that was rear ended after i rebuilt the top end of the motor while adding an mls and arp's, etc. So i have all the necessary wiring and parts from the e36 is needed. My questions come more from suggestions,

    which tranny should i use, the getrag 260 or the zf from my e36, as far as strength, reliability, drive train, trans mount brace, which mounts, clutch, m20 flywheel & pilot bearing? etc?

    since i own the e36 already would you suggest the 5 lug swap, or is the e30's just fine, should i swap the steering racks while i have the motor out?

    which starter/power steering pump/brake booster(e30 xi or e21)?

    which radiator, e36 should work right?

    i understand if i want obd2 i need to get the ecu flashed, i also understand mostly everything else about the swap, these are just a few questions i'd like to have clarified in a little more detail. Also if there are any suggestions i'd i love to hear them!! thanks!
