    Can I get some back history on this? Why on earth would you want a M50 in an M3 shell? I only hope because you're going with some crazy FI. Even then, you know what engine belongs in that car...

          Well starting out with a shell, it's going to be expensive getting everything together and very time consuming. An S14 is worth 3-4X as much as an M50 so can't blame him for opting for the M50 for now.

            His family owns a body shop so they can source parts for un godly cheap amounts, and yes he is just doing to m50 for the time being until a proper s50 or s14 can be sourced.

                Just save a little cash and buy an S50, they're not that pricey these days.

                      best of luck, and in the end your going to have a e36 suspension M50 crapbox that was wrecked really good.

                      best of luck. not hating, just seeing this in a "real" way.

                            I'd rather have an m50'd, e36 5 lug'd, real M3, than half the cars on this board.
                            Not hating, but would you rather see the shell go to the junker?
