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
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
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
