I'm in the midle of trying to fit an E36 318 is engine into an E30 325 chassis. I've already changed the complete sump assembly and am getting some trouble with the engine mountings as the sump is fouling the steering rack.

Any info about this topic would be gratfully received. Thanks.

Which mount are you using and which rubber mounts are you using?

Think the e30 rubber mounts are offset were as the e36 ones ar stright :D
