if i use a 328i manual prop , do i use all of it or is it a half e30 e36? also is any other e36 prop the same length as a 328i manual? i have a e24 m30 out of a auto ! the flywheel is single mass i think ! can i use it or does it have to be a manual flywheel?
thanks guys just chasing a few final bits

With an e34 engine and manual box, you use the whole e36 328i prop, thats what I've done on mine and it fits perfectly
Just read again, are you using an auto gearbox on your conversion?

Not sure on 318 linkage, I had a 320 linkage on my car and had to swap it for a 325 linkage to make it all fit, so if a 318is linkage is the same as a 325 then I guess it will be ok!

Iirc 318is linkage is longer, 325i is what you need.
