All 325i engines in the e30 are the same, there is no "Sports" version.

Use the Search function for the 2.7 conversion. there are a shit load of threads about it.

Quick way to make a 2.7 is a 525e bottom end fitted with a 320 head.
325 and 320 have completely different combustion chambers and are not interchangeable.
There are currently two threads running in "engine swaps" forum where most of your questions are already answered and you can ask further questions, so I'm going to lock this thread, as it gets confusing when similar threads run in different forums.
