M30 Swap confirmation questions.

[Swanny]

Depending on your engine location any ETA shaft should work. Only issue is how much spline contact you have. Take some measurements and ask around. Should be easy to find a proper match without going through modification.

Thanks a lot for all the information. Can't wait to finally start this build. Just found a free location to do it today.

E30 starter will not work, although they bolt up fine the pinions are different.

Ds will need to be shortened, use e28 265 one. I think m30 starter is bigger but e30 one should fit

As far as part #s are concerned, M30 vs M20 starters is a negative.

...but may interchange physically.

I've been researching this for a long time now and i need to confirm a few things, so bare with me. Keep in mind that I'm doing motor position 3 and I'm trying to use GoddandTight's mounts, with a M30 B35 with a g265 5-speed.

And correct me if I'm wrong.

1. The 265 driveshaft with the early model E30 Big flange will bolt right up.

2. Will the E30 Starter work fine?
