Bunch of pics of the swap/pimp of my 85 E30 323i.
M50 out of an E34 NV Automagic. Strongflex 90ksi bushes on everything except the diff mount which is 75ksi. BC gold coilovers with 6kg springs, replaced every bush/balljoint in the thing and every seal in the engine drivetrain ;)
Using a renault clio brake booster.
24mm and 16mm (adjustable) whiteline swaybars
3:64 LSD and M325 halfshafts went in.
Using the orginal Getrag 260 and B23 flywheel with the rear face machined down 6mm, Uprated pressure plate with a kevlar friction disc, and a tweaked cross member.
Using the same old E36 arm/M535 engine mount arrangement
Made up some decent headers for it, didnt want to bolt the stock tractor manifolds on.
Since the swap its done 700miles of "testing" and Im pretty happy with it, much more urge than the stock 145,000mile engine and it handles like a gokart!
Making a nice cold air box at the moment, not too far away from going in.
Just the panel, paint and some trim to fix up and ill be happy
