Whilst some folks here disagree with your style choices, they know their s**t about performance e30’s. The best bang for your buck is to turbo your current motor. Then if you want a better motor, stick with the BMW 6’s. If you must V8, then the M6x route is easiest. Once you go V8, the exhaust, transmission, driveshaft all become issues, not the adapter plate. The e30 doesn’t have room for a Japanese trans that will hold the power without cutting the car.

i forgot how fortunate we are that little bois generally cant afford e30's anymore.

But oh well, why would you remove an M20 to put a 4 cylinder in, unless its some crazy turbo it will not be worth it?
Your easiest route would be an LS if you are going non bmw, but your cheapest would be a BMW M60, they are cheap to buy.
I’m leaning towards either an sr20 or a 3sge beams for the 4 cylinder options and for the v8 the only one id even consider is a 1uzfe but the only thing holding me back is the cost of a decent w58 and the adapters id need for the 1uz
Definitely my cheapest option is the 3sge but I’m still on the fence about it

I’m trying rn to figure out what the end cost will be for either set up. I’ve never been a horsepower guy or one to really race but Ik that tastes change, on one hand the 4 cylinder will be cheaper but I’ll be pretty much tapped out on power at around 220ish but with the v8 it gives me a base that will allow me to chase power later on if I choose to do so.
what do you guys think?

If you think getting 220hp out of a 4 cyl (I'm assuming M42?) will be cheap then you are in for a not so nice surprise.
