    M20 with G240/M42 transmission?

    I am about to embark on the simple task of swapping an M20B25 into my girlfriends 91 318, but have one question. Will the G240 bolt up to the M20, and which clutch/flywheel/starter will I need to run? Can I simply use the G240/M42's original fly/starter/clutch/TOB, or will I need something different? I ask because I'd like to do it as cheap as possible, and not buying a new transmission achieves that.

    Thanks.

      the trans will mate to the motor for sure

      but I'm not sure about the clutch combo

      you can use an m20 fly/pp/clutch on an m42/g240, so I'm sure you can use them here too

          Driveshaft fitment in the real question at hand.

          Personally I'd use the 260, not like they're hard to find.
