The V8 conversion is quite an involved swap.
Any engine conversion will need you to be uprating the front & back brakes and front suspension to E30 325 gear.
The 24v engines out of the E36 and E34 are a good way to go. There is also the M30 3.5 engine out of 535 & 735i.
Have a look through the Engine Swaps section at what people have been upto.
Have you got a budget and can you do the work yourself?
