Looking to have an engine conversion done on my 320

Hi

I know this will of been covered a million times before, I have a really nice condition 1991 320 se coupe. Looking to have either a 2.5 or 3.0 fitted from either an e36 or 46 depending on if the 46 requires a lot more work to get in.

I originally wanted to do the work myself as I have a large garage to do it in, but I'm now considering have someone do it for me.

Does anyone on here offer the service ? I'm in no rush to have it done.

When I originally planned to do the job myself I was going to fit a m20b25 and just unbolt the old one and bolt that in but now Iv decided to put something more modern in, what else has to be done to get one of the newer engines in?

Cheers

Matt

And do a search for him on here.

Looking forward to speaking to him
