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

Got an M20 oil pan for anyone else looking! Costa Mesa. Just a heads up.
