My e30 leaks everything from everywhere (engine and trans), 201k miles (when the odometer broke years ago) and I am wanting to get it ready for full size road course. I bought this car a couple years ago, suspension is good, brakes are good and body is 100% rust free. I have been researching and going over this in my head off and on since the bought the car almost 2 years ago. Which swap is right for me?
I have a pretty good mechanical background. However I do not have access to a welder nor do I feel my welding skills are all that great. With that being said,
What engine swaps can you do on an e30 325i that require NO welding or fabrication (as in any "special" part can be bought online and bolted on, I would not be required to weld or fabricate anything other than exhaust).
The swaps I have read into
M30B35 (been looking for one of those locally for a while)
M50
5.0 V8 ford engine (which I am sure is out, looks like some fabrication and welding is required).
Any others I should consider? Any of the ones listed require fabrication/welding? I am not looking for insane power, but I want more than my N/A M20b25 has to offer.
