That's not a g-240 (from m10), cause I been spending a lot of time with one lately.
That motor looks young and beautiful.

Awesome! I always like to see another person building a convertible and you are going with a M30 which is even better!Leave a comment:

M30b35 swap into 1990 vert *NOW WITH LIFE!!*
Hello fans,
I've owned this E30 for a little over 3 years.
bought it bone stock, 2 owners I am the 3rd.
I've done everything I've wanted to do since purchase.
Powerflex EVERYTHING bushings.
full ground control coilovers+Koni's
Garagistic reinforced everything
euro bits here and there
front valance
killer stereo (lukebox)
MarkD 91 chip
Metric Blue headstuds
new HG
full 3" exhaust
Ronal LS's on 225/50/15's
Had it boosted for 1 season, was fun WHILE it worked.
Sold off boost kit.
how it sits this day.
so I opted for a M30b35 swap, over M52, over S52. I feel they are being played out a little and I really wanted to keep with the period correctness of the car. i'm not a speed junky, I simply want a little more kick off the line, I read the M30b35 will provide just that.
got my engine mounts from Garagistic (well, actually Superboosted)
Got ECU with SSSquid stage 1 tune (also from Superboosted)
Got M30 getrag 260 transmission
Travelled over 1,000 kilometers on a Saturday round trip and picked up a clean/fresh rebuilt head M30b35...in a little Ford Focus Wagon to boot!
how it sits in garage now
in two weeks I'm pulling my M20b25 and transmission which is already sold to a member on the forum.
Early next spring is when she gets dropped in...just needs a couple more parts and should be good to boot!
I'll post here with picture and updates:)Last edited by Mr. Burns; 05-26-2015, 07:04 AM.
