    Will an m20 fit in an e30 trunk?

    I've been wanting to get another motor but at the moment all I have is my e30. Has anyone tried to fit an m20 in the trunk of their e30? I figure at the minimum the intake would have to be pulled.

    You can remove the passenger seat and it will fit in there.

                I picked up a motor in my firebird like that. Amazingly easy!

                  I've seen this too. A guy who was selling an E30 I went to look at had an S52 stuffed in the trunk. Someone came by to buy the S52 while I was there and it didn't look too hard to get out of the trunk either.

                  So I'd imagine an M20 would easily fit in there.

                      i have also seen one placed in the passenger seat area. goes in with a hoist like a charm. removing the door panel is a good idea, gives an extra couple inches.

                        Read the title.
                        Thought who the fuck is going to make a rear mounted M20 E30
                        Then was disappointed.
