    Cheap m30 swap

    What's up guys? Been playing with e30's for a few years now, have been driving a b34 swapped late model for about a year and a half, and have been looking for a bit more power for about half that time. Picked up an '84 318 for dirt cheap, got euro bumpers, got suspension and brakes from a 6cyl car, got another m30, and it's almost time to do werk.

    The mota that I pulled for $350, with a dot-r 5 speed



    The car in its current state


    On to a burning question... I want to make motor mounts like this:


    The car has been wrecked before



    Is it ok to weld plate to the frame rail even if it's all bent up?

    Take it to a frame shop first and have them straighten it and let them certify it is straight at the least. Then go nuts doing motor mounts like that. Looking forward to the build!

      Maybe I'll try to straighten it myself. Taking the car to the frame shop first thing kind of offsets the whole 'cheap' part of this swap

            Let's just say that the junk yard manager knows me on a first name basis, lol, I go there once a week..

            Hoping to pull the m10 this weekend. Will take pics if it really happens; I'm hoping that my gf will get some wrench time in....... We'll see
