hi all, ive had my m20 2.7 in my cab for a while now and has been great till now.. im 100% sure the head needs replacing, and i do like to give it the beans so the bottom end might be a bit lazy too.. im not sure weather to go for new head or complete trasplant for a 3.5 lump, after all u can pick up comp e34's cheap enough now days, is the e34 3.5 lump a straight forward swap? (apart from box ofc)..

Need custom engine mounts (beefy on here sells them) and a custom prop (around £100).
If you have a doner car, you should have all the bits you need

does the prop need to be a little shorter? and does the e34 have the same 'wrap around' loom? if so i just use the e34 loom and ecu...

Use half M20 and half E34 IIRC
Just need a couple of modifications to the loom i think, it fits in the same place as well.
