[koolz]

A question for all the mad coversion feakazoid experts out there.

should i or shoulnt i?
ive been offered an e36 3.2 evo engine with the 6 speed box for a very good price, and everyone i know says i should throw it into my e30 m3 cab, only thing is i dont know if i would be able to afford the labour costs, also not sure exaclty what other things i would need for the full conversion? new exaust? brakes? manifold, ect? how long would it take to do a conversion like this? would it be alot of headace? and also how much could i get for my e30 2.3 engine and dogleg box? as i would need to sell those to fund the conversion?

of course you should. i dont know exactly what youd need but definately a custom exhaust,manifold should already be on the engine.you might need to upgrade things like the brakes as well, no point going if you cant stop! i payed Ԛ£2600 for labour charges for my engine conversion and it took 17 weeks!!! depends on the garage if they are concentrating on it or fitting it around other work

I think you should! A lot of people will tell you it will ruin the balance of the car. Maybe true but its a cab, therefore not a track car but a cruise machine!

The value of your engine depends on milage etc but you should expect to get over Ԛ£1500 for it

How much is a good price for the engine youve been offered?

[koolz]

Ԛ£1000 for engine and box

[m3ben05]

Thats a fooking steal mate! If you dont want it il bite the guys hand off and put it in my new little e36

I know there are a couple of places in germany that claim to be able to do the whole conversion in a day or something crazy like that so the labour shouldnt be too bad

a grand is good, if the engine is good.
are you geting the ecu, key and ews?
