Im keen to carry out this conversion in an e30, i have a evo m3 here complete but are the 3.2 engines more difficult to fit than the 3.0l's?
If they are i'll sell the car and start to cllect the 3.0l parts to carry out the engine swap..
cheers for any advice...

Almost identical swap, the only difference being you will need to fit a 3.0l oil pump as the dual pick up pump on the 3.2l won't fit with the M50 sump.
The wiring is much of a muchness, the EWS isn't an issue as there are guys who can remove it, although its only 6 or 7 wires to connect up to keep it - I kept the EWS on mine (a late 3.0l) as I liked the idea of the extra security.

As above pretty much the same,the 5 speed box in the 3.0ltr is a doddle to fit and generally stronger than the 6speed though. 3.2 more power too,use it!
