e30 engine replacement guide

May 24, 2006 1 Replies

Anyone know where a good engine swap guide is, or of any special tools I might need?



If I were faced with an E30 engine swap, assuming the chassis is in good shape, I would seriously consider dropping an M50/M52 engine in from an E36. They are plentiful, have considerably better power and manners and the documentation is available for a relatively easy upgrade.

If you wanted to take it one step further, an S52 engine from an E36 M3 would be a fun project.
