Are there silicone alternatives available?

Cheers

I have just been tasked by a friend to convert his 318i to an s50b32, now i've already done an m52b28 on my own cabby and just wanted to ask are there any mjor differences between the 2 conversions? Same rads, fans, better engine mounts? temp sensors etc

Any info greatly appreciated
