    Stuff to look out for in a E to I swap

    Im no noob, but i was wondering if there is anything special that i should be doing if i am changing from a 85 325e engine that has a manual to a 88 Is that has a auto

    Im planning on using the flywheel, and manual trans with the swap.

    all im looking for is any special "wtf" stuff that i need to look out for

        yeah, i hope not. we got daniel if someone needs any gay action.

        and i will def do that. we have to drive that thing for like 1~2 miles with no license plate or insurance or anything. especially with that toasted rear end. it will be fun.

          before we haul it off to the junkyard i am wrecking it with the forklift, aka lifting it as high as it will go, then tipping it off and letting it smash into the ground lol

              Youll prolly need the harness from the late model and obviously the computer.

                That's pretty much all. Plus the new wiring harness won't fit through the existing firewall pass through so you will have to open it up a little bit with a dremel. Nothing else I can remember that was that bad from my swap. good luck
