ok so im about to buy another e30 to replace my freshlly rear ended e30. if everything works out with insurance i will be picking up a buddy of mines 318is with a blown m42. for 750. well for another 300 he will put in an i swap he has been collecting parts for. so i get a i motor with a 1.3 motronic and such and the g260 for 300 dollars. i just want to know what is all involved with the swap.
i kno the motor should just sit right in the bay.
but i am just not sure what goes on with the exhaust.
cooling? should i use an m20 rad or the m42 rad?
do i need to use the g260 transmission crossmember?
how about the drive shaft?
it already has a 373 lsd so we are good there. so im just wondering about wiring. as far as i kno im pretty sure its all plug and play. i just need to put in my dme?
i have an early model parts car. a 1986 325e.
can i use the drive shaft from that?
here is my other option. i can get an m42 with 89k for 800 with full harness and such. and sense im pulling out the blown m42 anyone that needs m42 accoreys hit me up lol. either way just thought id ask the pro's :p
