'91 318is, 16V swap.

[dnick]

Just need a bell housing, clutch fork and throwout bearing, then the motor goes in permanently :D

what about the driveshaft? ive heard theres a lot of custom shit with that..

but its coming along!

[trackjunkie21]

But a stock 302 makes what a m50 does? :/ im just a straight 6 guy I suppose.

A foxbody made something like 200hp with a whole bunch of emissions crap. those cars are known for tuneability. An exhaust wakes the car up tremendously, as do other bolt ons.

Nae, I've got a full mustang ds and rear end of an m20 ds. I found a place that will do $200 at most and does it on spot. I do need a few other small engine parts, if you know anybody...

Yeah, emissions killed those cars. And yeah, as you said, exhaust and intake do wonders. I got lucky enough to find a HO motor with shorty headers, cam and a few other things for cheap!

Mine now has about 400 at 2600rpm... crazy huh? I think I need to reinforce the rear end, and tires.

[dnick]

your subframe is going to eventually rip apart lol

[FunfGan]

Well yeah, after I get it running I'm doing polly everything in the back.

yeah i figured you would have to.. imagine this thing s/c lol

[SamE30e]

Wow...

[FunfGan]

Whole bunch of gaskets have been ordered, along with the oil pan I'll need to modify. Picking up a spare engine for parts, then selling the rest off or saving it to build another engine.

[DannyR]

So what's the biggest pita of this swap?
