It took me a month of weekends but my 87 325is that I bought in non running condition that turned out to have a blown motor is now up and running as a 327is. I used the bottom end from a 88 super eta with the top end and all other parts from a 325i and also did an auto to manual conversion and she is now running good. I took her up and down the street 8 or 10 times today and it feels good. Now just need to get to the DMV to get some tags and go for a proper drive. I also took the time to clean and paint most parts and replace all gaskets, seals, sensors, hoses, belts, starter, alternator, clutch, etc. while I had it out. Now I just need to fix all the other little things wrong with the car, mostly on the interior.
Here is what I started with:
