Need some ideas/suggestions..

[tH16]

This is what I have:
A pile of rust e36 328i with an m52b28

I want an e30. Would my m52 make a good candidate for a 24v swap? It's a 97 so its OBDII. Does this matter?

Suggestions, ideas or tell me to fuck off and search.

Fuck off and search, but yes, an M52 makes an excellent candidate for an E30 24V swap. Our 24V swap forum is the most comprehensive you're going to find anywhere. It can be a forest of clusterfuck to wander through, but it's all there. OBDII doesn't matter much, you just have to do a few things differently than with an OBDI. Just swapped a NV M50 into my car, and I love it! We're always happy to answer questions, too.

:D

Welcome aboard.

Can always convert it to OBD1 as well and pick up a few ponies doing it.

Wait wait wait, let me get this straight, the engine from a newer more technological BMW fits into our old boxes that look like sentras? Praise the Lord!
