HELP, Need 1991 325ix motor/bottom end m20

[1991325ix]

looking to buy an ix bottom end, also was wondering what the difference is between the regular m20 and the ix m20 other then the machined surface where ix oil pan connects on an ix m20, it would make this search a lot easier and cheaper if i knew i could use a regular m20 bottom end, your help is greatly appreciated !

RWD M20 is different in a few ways and can not be used in an IX without some modifcation. More here:

I bet I have what you need which is IX only, but if your not the same person who needed one 2 nights ago it may be spoken for already, pm me and I'll see what we have. I know at least of ix engines we could get in also if we don't have one still.

I have a bottom end from a '91iX I think it had 170k on it.
