And now I'm swapping in an m30 like I intended. Parts/to do list:
m30b35 from e34 with the e34 pan still attached
g265/6 out of an e28
e28 535i radiator (notch support)
extend spark plug and thermostat wires from e30's wiring harness
e30m30 motor mounts
e30m3 crossmember (unless 635csi fits)
"bent stud" trans bushings
push in the firewall to allow motor to be in the most rearward position on the motor mounts.
m535i euro oil cooler
new spal 16" high performance curved blade fan (2000CFM)
Somewhere I heard I need e32 exhaust manifolds for clearance reasons is this true? Also remember hearing there was a benefit to using a b34 valve cover, what is the benefit? Can a driveshaft be made using stock BMW driveshafts that mounts to the g265? What should I do about transmission crossmember, I want to use a 635csi crossmember because I have a huge parts yard nearby but I'll shovel out the money for the aluminum m3 one if it's the only way. I also need to find out what bushings to use on the motor mounts.
This is my daily and I need it back running asap so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get this thing together in two days if possible. I pieced together info from GG's build and a couple others of varying quality.
