M44 Transplantation

[Memphys™]

Hey guys, i'm planing to install an M44 engine from E36 to my E30 Touring, so my question is is there any isues while doing this, i got the hole pack - the engine, trany, wires, the ECU, is there any difference with mounting the engine from E36 to E30 and is there any parts i need to have to comlpete it?
Thanks

You need to use the following:
E30 oil pan
E30 oil dipstick
E30 intake
E30 complete engine harness including crank and cam sensor(exhaust cam)
E30 belt system, You could use the serpentine system from the M44, but the dipstick needs a little bending with a looooot of care, so if you don´t want to mess, use the E30 belts and pulleys.
E30 crank pulley so the E30 ECU can read the Crank position. In the M44 is inside the block.
E30 ignition coils and plug wires

This is all I can think of right now, I might be missing something though...
I hope this helps!!
