325 engine will drop in very easily, unplug the engine loom in the bay, drop in the new engine, prop, diff etc, plug the new one in. Job done.

Lots of other engines fit, m50's, m42's, etc .... I have no idea what engines these are but they sound good. I'm sure someone else will be able to answer your question better than me...

welcome to the zone.

M50 is the 24 valve version of the old M20 6 cylinder. M42 is the 16v four pot fitted to the 318is

Talk to fuzzy. He has 296bhp work of YB turbo in his touring.That should get you interested again fubar.

No idea how easy/difficult it is to do but if you search the engine swap section of the forum you might find a thread on it.
