right slowly going to be collecting the parts to do this just want to check a few things
going to use the m42 box which i belive the 325i clutch and fly and starter is needed ?
e28 m5 mounts are the ones needed ?
e34 m50 sump and pick up pipe
thats about it isnt it ?

have read the long m50 thread but still not 100%

only thing im worryed about is the dreaded wiring :cry: any one got any advice/ pointers that would be great

I've just finished mine. If you use MSN, add me and we'll have a long chat. :)

You got a '36 donor car or just the engine?
...or is it?

Pretty much all the wiring info is on the zone, but the e3024v site i find more specific as it is generally only used by 24v converters

You'll need a 2.5 (M50) inlet to release a few more horses, I am going down the M42 box route too, Just found out that the front section of a M20 prop is needed as the IS one is to long :?
