If I used a M50 engine in an E36 328i, what missions am I looking at when it comes down to wiring harness and ECU etc.

The E36 has got a good gearbox and clutch but the engine is blown so I am planning to use a M50 I have kicking about.

Any help would be great.

Your going the wrong way!!!

S50 is the only way forward from a blown M52 :D
M42 rightness above 6500rpm, nobody can hear you scream
