Sooooo.... I'm going to embark on a new venture. Looking for info on M42 to M20 swap.

You'd rather spend the extra time and money to swap that, versus buying an M20 car? Do you already have the car and M20 ready to go?

I have an extra M52 in pieces, but they both need rebuilding

Sooooo.... I'm going to embark on a new venture. Looking for info on M42 to M20 swap. Ideally if I find a really, really cheap M50 with trans and everything attached to it, I'll go that route. For now I'm looking for a detailed thread with this info. I searched and it threw me back to the m30 and other swaps forum and I gave up after 19 pages.
Btw, I'm using my phone to search, so don't lynch me.

Here is a car that comes to mind that went from m42 to m20:

Anything in particular you need info on?

What’s going on/going to happen with the m42?

Im pretty sure its like a M50 swap, just different wires for the C101
