Hello,

So tomorrow I'm getting the engine in, in my '84 e30. Two things I'm not sure about 100%. One is about the exhaust,

So I'm using the stock exhaust manifolds from the m50b25, then I need the front pipes of the stock e36 325i exhaust, and then somewhere near the end of the control arms, I chop 'em off and weld my e30 320i exhaust pipes on them? Right?

But I need a lambda/oxygen sensor too right? these bolt on in the front exhaust pipes from the e36, right? because I saw two screws in the exhaust manifold of the m50b25. (this engine uses 1 oxygen sensor in the front pipes section , i think?)

On the other hand, can someone give ma a loom table or some advice for fitting this engine in a 1984 e30 320i? I only find loom tables from facelift e30's, en these are different I guess? thankss

If this is a right hand drive E30 you wont be able to use a standard exhaust manifold

One more thing ! I'm using the E36 getrag gearbox from the m50. Does it fit my stock e30 320i transmission mounts?
