hi,
firstly, this is a great forum and brilliant advice!

I collected my e30 325i convertible last week and want an engine conversion. i have a decent and realistic budget but am no good with the choosing and also rubbish with a spanner.

i am looking for great acceleration and not mad about top end speeds.

if anyone can help me, please could you inbox me and can take from there?

thanks

gordon

E36 328 engine with a few common mods and a reasonably short diff ratio might suit you nicely :)
I've done a conversion like that to a convertible but I'm probably abit far for you to travel :lol:
PM Danthe on here and he might be able to sort you out :wink:


Here's a few pictures of the convertible I did the 328 swap on.

Has about 220-230bhp now and shifts along quite nicely :)
