I've been considering the 335 conversion for a long time now but have just seen a nice little motor that would make a cool car (and be easier to work on with less electronics at a guess!). its a 1974 2002. I know that the 2002 is an early M10 2.0 4 pot and I do alos know its possible to get a nice 2.5 M20 under the hood which woudl be much fun, BUT, does anyone know if i nice M30 would fit in instead??
Is the M30 block considerable large in external dimensions than the M20 and would the 2002 gearbox and diff stand a chance with M30 sort of torque or would that need to go as well?
One last idea, would an e30 M3 engine fit being the smaller 4 pot and does the m3 engine have the same block and thus the same bell housing bolt patterns to the standard 4 pot m10 bmw engines - also what sort of price is an e30 m3 engine??
Much food for thought so lets hear any idea... sound like a fun project or just a nightmare to do?!
Thanks for reading - Jon
