          Why wouldn't I be able to put S50cams in an M50NV? What problem would I face? I thought people do that all the time hah.

              from what I hear its better to swap the exhaust NV cam to the intake side and run a s50 exhaust cam in its place. But Im going off something I read a long time ago.

                Will it need to be milled or anything?

                    What I want to know is who the hell pays any amount of money for an E36 pan? I've scrapped so many!

                      I want to say TIG welding gets it done? But I know it's possible... how else would people weld in oil feeds, you know?

                        Not very easy but very doable and expensive. Need a special spool gun.

                        You can put them in, you need to swap in the cam trays along with the cams.

                          Nope did a few more searching and the Mfree cams won't work.

                          I need to get more power out of this non-vanos...naturally aspirated for now...ugh.
