If all it really needs is the oil pan I would say definitely. I would be kind of leery of buying a car without ever hearing it run or driving it. It may be in need of shocks/bushings etc, but w/o driving it you'll have a hard time determining that.
I would be most concerned with the amount of time the engine ran with the oil pickup un submerged. If it was a smallish crack and the oil drained slowly, then you might be okay.
I have thought about that. Kinda depends on the overall cost of the swap.
I am a newbie when it comes to e30's. I have an E36 M3 and will be using this as a commuter.
My wife is afraid that it will be a motor swap that will never get finished so if there are good pointers out there to do this quick and easy I'm all about hearing them.
Thanks a lot guys and if anyone else has any other thoughts let me know.
