Previously completed 325 engine into 320 model. enjoyed that.
now want to drop 320 engine into 318is (is engine fooked).
questions:-
1.-will 320 gearbox connect to 318is propshaft and diff ? reason on asking, small budget. fab direct quoted £65 on 320prop, £150 325 diff.!!!
will check e30zone parts after this post.offers welcome.
2.-also missing front calipers off 318is.should i purchase 320/325 calipers or 318is calipers (any difference) ?

why 320 engine?, well will be "upgrading" to 2.5/2.7 in the future. (saving 1st!!)

any options welcomed.
