    Lets toss a M50 in a...

    Hey guys, I'm doing a dohc swap in my e30 next week, after that I'm on the hunt for a S5x for my e34 touring, after that Ill have a m50 sitting around from my touring and I was thinking it would be fun to try to cram it in something random.
    Im thinking for ease it would need to be
    -RWD
    and
    -hydro. Clutch

    Thinking like a mid 80s Jap. truck, maybe a cheap Porsche like a 924 or a early Mercedes sedan, something that would be around $1000

    What do you guys think?
    any inspiration?

              volvo 240s are clutch cable, i think their is a swap you can take from some odd ball early volvo to get hydro clutch, and 740s have hydro, but I cant stand the slanted front end.

              american wouldnt be to bad....

                  A-body Mopar, Dart/Valiant/Duster. Before you say I'm nuts, slant 6s are 30-degree like a BMW engine. Tell the old guys at the muscle car cruise spot that you did a DOHC slant 6 conversion and bask in the confusion you just created.

                  An S54 in a slammed early Valiant has kinda been my dream car for a while now.
