hi guys, my cousin has got a e30 cabby, it already has had the 3.5 conversion done but the original engine gave up so he purchased low mileage one and the garage he took it to , removed the the old one but could not for the life of them put the new one in :roll:
any specialist or someone knows what they are doing can put the new engine in for him? please advise any garages people etc :)
location is birmingham but can travel :)

When you say they can't get it back in, do you mean they can't get it engine mounts to line back up?

Rav is your man from the Birmz massive :D

It looks like it's never going to fit, but it does. You need to raise the box up a bit to get it on the mounts. Tell the garage if one came out, one can go back in
