      Get outta here. You can't bore any deeper than 3.8L. The cylinder wall is too thin!

            I want pics of how the headers are going to affect the passenger side motor mount position. I think there is a way I can use e34 M5 headers onto my m30 head.....found a couple of people that likes to play w hot metal :p

              Well, they barely fit in an E28/E24...

              Also it would be serious blasphemy to slaughter a set of euro headers...

                just go M50 + boost

                see how quickly the speedo climbs to the limit

                  OMG Joe, you have the best job in the world. What do you do each morning, just wake up and say, hmmm, s38 in an e30? Sure!

                  Also, just a little OT, how are the engine mounts for the m30 swaps coming?

                  Thanks.

                    Haha, the guy that bought my Dinan 3.9 is putting it into an E30. :) I guess it I have a little bit of an inside scoop. :D

                    We are pulling my motor here shortly, probably next week? I am going to get them sent out and duplicated, but I really want to make some E32/E34 mounts as well.

                      I agree...I could resell them on ebay or something...I wasn't going to cut the headers...I was thinking more on the lines of having some flanges built so I could adapt the headers to the m30 head

                          Haha I love the random m50 lover every now and then.

                          Why would you waste time boosting an m50 when you have an m30?

                            Yep, though it is a cracked cam box, not cylinder head, thankfully!
