I like that, might need to look into it ;D
I wish I had the budget for an ecoboost, but unfortunately I'm a college kid. I believe within the last year Ford released a stand alone engine management system that makes an ecoboost swap much easier.sigpic'86 325es 5 speed- cosmetic mods, working out an engine swap

Well today was a big day for me, I cut a chunk out of the bellhousing for the starter and got the transmission bolted to the engine! I still need to confirm that the input shaft is in fact centered in the crankshaft, then I need to make a pilot bushing and confirm that my clutch package looks like it should work. I'm trying to figure out where and when I can pull the engine out of the e30 and start getting this engine in.Attached Filessigpic'86 325es 5 speed- cosmetic mods, working out an engine swap

Relatively heavy, close to 500 pounds fully dressed. My understanding is that this is around a 100 pounds heavier than the M20 currently in the car. While I wish I was reducing weight, not adding it, this is a compromise I'm willing to take for several reasons: these engines can be gotten for very CHEAP, I'm hoping to be making close to 250hp which is a big step up from the M20, and finally despite what people say, I'm not super worried about the extra 100 pounds inhibiting my performance. This is just a street car, and I can add a 200 lb passenger in and barely notice the difference. Furthermore, people regularly turbo cars and don't complain that it ruined the handling characteristics of a car, and turbo kits usually weight upwards of a 100 pounds.sigpic'86 325es 5 speed- cosmetic mods, working out an engine swap

So slightly heavier than the M30 (around the weight of an S38), but the weight will be further back with the V6... will be totally fine.Comment
