Re: e 30 rally car m3 s50 install

current engine is an m20 b25 not an m50 ! so how does the s50 compare engine mount wise as the m20 b25 ? brake servo not an issue as the rally car has bias pedal box with no servo and ive seen a company that makes exhaust manifolds for around 1 k what about wiring in the ecu sensors etc etc ? thanks
