From knowing nothing to having a Thunderbird supercharger on an m20b27i

So I think the m30 and 4hp-22eh will be going in the "new" 325iS. Let the vert stay what it has become and make the new project all-m30-and-automatic-muscle-car-goodness. Time for a new thread.

Ok, well, I've acquired an m30 with a clean remanned by ZF auto trans attached. It came with a trade I made recently. My vert beater that I refer to now and again got traded away for a really straight, dirty but clean, 1987 325is roller with the m30 and trans to boot.
Here's what I'm thinking. I like to go out to the Brodeo and run the dragon. I also like to drive my kids to school and not spend too much on gas. I have my 92 cabrio. I have the 87 325iS roller. What if I put the m30 with the auto in the vert and have a pretty m30 auto swap for cruising and shuttling kids to and from school, and put the supercharged m20 into the coupe for beating on at the Brodeo (all the while, putting a m20b27 bottom in)?
Thoughts?

M30 swaps are difficult. It's a big engine and doesn't really fit in the E30 engine bay. Have you been reading up on them? They're also about the heaviest swap you can pick.

I believe I can make the wire harness from the m20 work on the m30 and still use the ms2.

You'd have to fab a totally new manifold... essentially starting your build over from scratch. You may or may not have room at the front of the engine for enough of an accessory drive to turn the blower.

…And we're back!
So I think I'm thinking about an m30. With an m90. Mmmm? Mmmmm?

Right now there are cores (suitable parts donor for M20 stroker build) as low as $400, but claimed running engines start at $600. Get on your horse for Fontana, CA.
X5 cores are cheaper, but runners start about $1k

If you see a whole M54B30 come up for sale for $500, let me know so I can buy it.
