Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything.
A guy in America is in the middle of fitting an RB26 into his E30.
Here is the thread.
Thought some of you might find it an interesting read, I certainly did

Went through all the pages now, that is one cool project. Guy knows what he is doing. The gearbox is HUGE compared to a E30.

an awesome build/ project.
I think starting off with an M50 transplant was the right idea for me. The supra swap can come in good time...

Am I the only one who found it amusing that he was cursing exhaust / steering clearance on a

I know! I just found it amusing that we struggle with BMW engines & RHD, & for once it's a LHD car with the same problem! I guess it
was just me then...
