I would absolutely keep the M20 in this car. Pull it, clean it up, re-work the head, add cam, add BavAuto headers & exhaust, chip it and drive the tits off of it. M20s are so awesome. 24v swaps are ghey.
I hate modded emtree, I hate modded cawrz, I hate jdm, I hate swag, I hate stanceyolokids, I hate bags (on cars), I hate stuff that is slowz, I hate tires.

I already have half of the parts needed haha! Ideally I want to swap this car and keep the M20 and do a full, out of car rebuild for boost to slap in another e30.

If you go 24v you're going to want to bag it after you hit your oil pan on every little thing on the road :-P
I am kind of worried about that...

Actually don't do it like, actually do it well. That's my honest advice. And don't do a regular old m50.
My plan is to do a full OBD2 M52. Then later on do an m50 manifold and s52 cams or something. Then possibly do boost even later on. Who knows...

The engine does seem healthy and M20's are known to last a while. The thing is, it has it's leaks and at >250k it could take only the smallest thing to ruin it. I'm thinking that it could be nice to take a 24v engine, completely refresh it out of the car, clean everything up and toss it in.
If I was currently in Colorado I would probably be in the middle of an m30 swap haha. There was a 535i E34 for sale for $500 with a running engine and manual transmission...

Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

If I knew about that I would be in Colorado now picking it up and attempting to drive it home on a trip permit to strip and put the engine in my e28.
