Having not done this but from understanding...
You need to fit the e30 centre bearing backwards on the e36 328i front half and join this to an e30 rear half. let me know how you get on.

If it's too long - get it shortened. Doesn't cost much (aroun 50€ here).
Make sure that the back end is completely pushed to the differential and that engine sits as it should.
