And another M30 swap begins

[E30 Beast]

sweet thanx jean

[Zacm829]

Looks good so far, and the first picture shows the enthusiasm you will need when finding a driveshaft.

[E30 Beast]

yeah i think out of this whole swap making sure the motor starts nd finding a drive shaft is whats gonna scare me the most

[RickSloan]

nothing wrong with a 2.93... 115 in 3rd is a good time ;)

i went 2.93 to 3.73 and now i have a 3.25 and i love it, but im b34 with a b35 cam...

your gonna love it, and as long as your nice and give us details we will answer all your questions

[yert315]

maybe something is up with my engine but with my 2.93, I am slower than a bolt-on m20... by car lengths. Im pretty disappointed with the power output right now

Is this a stock b34 engine? :( I've read that a chip really wakes those
engines up, like a eta.

best ENGINE FOR THE CAR

[E30 Beast]

had a quick question, does i really need this transmission bracket nd if i do were can i get one other than the junk yard

[Jean]

I am not sure what bracket you are talking about, but pretty much everything you can find a part number for on www.realoem.com or bmwfans.info

[87-325ic]

two great sites above.. and this has probably been one of the nicest and most helpful r3v threads ive ever seen, or read.

And just to compare, my 3rd tops out at 90ish with 3.46...no idea where 4th ends :o

[E30 Beast]

hey jean i was talking about that piece of sheet metal that goes half way around the back end of the flywheel

[Doughnut]

Yep. I think 3.25 or 3.46 is the most ideal. Not tall and not short.

I have a 3.46 lsd in my m30 swaped e30 and find it to be alittle short. Though I do have the G265...
