E34 m50 into 318is
Posted: Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:12 pm
Hi all,
I'm just about to start work on fitting an E34 M50 engine into my 318is. I've researched quite a bit into this conversion before I undertake it, but everything i've read up on is based on an E36 m50/m52.
One of my questions for the minute is, can I use the mounting brackets from the E34, or do they definitely need to be from the E36? I'm having a bit of trouble sourcing some at the minute, so i'm hoping I wont have to. (fingers crossed)
Also, i'll be using the M42 box. Will the 318is clutch and flywheel assembly fit the M50. I read somewhere someone touching on the subject, but they didn't go into detail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I understand this subject has been addressed many times, but after trawling through the internet for information it gets a little tiring, so i'm hoping someone wont mind giving me a hand.
Thanks!
