thinking of putting a s50b32 engine in an e30

hi
im new to here and am thinking of putting a s50 engine out of a e36 m3 evo into an e30

basically are there any threads on here telling me what i need to do? parts i need?
i have a complete running e36 m3 evo convertible that is for sale but im thinking of doing the swap.
whats it likely to cost me in parts not including what i have from the donor car?
what will the e30 be worth once done?
cheers peeps

Hello, and welcome.

There are plenty of threads running on S50B30 and S50B32 conversions. Give the search function a try and be prepared to do a lot of reading.

hey,
yeah did a quick search but theres sooooo much lol
and most were project threads so really split up.
need more time to read i guess.

any idea on the value once complete?

I will put it this way, the cars value will rise by much less than the cost of the conversion

the reason for me doing it is i am trying to sell an e36 m3 evo cab that is mechanically sound but is a bit tatty in other areas.
so im thinking of putting the engine and running gear in an e30 to make a few quid. plus id have the rest of the e36 parts up for sale.
and its a winter project to keep me busy for a while lol

I would doubt you would make profit out of it..

Best off breaking the cab
