if i use a 328i manual prop , do i use all of it or is it a half e30 e36? also is any other e36 prop the same length as a 328i manual? i have a e24 m30 out of a auto ! the flywheel is single mass i think ! can i use it or does it have to be a manual flywheel?
thanks guys just chasing a few final bits

With an e34 engine and manual box, you use the whole e36 328i prop, thats what I've done on mine and it fits perfectly :)

Just read again, are you using an auto gearbox on your conversion?

Not sure on 318 linkage, I had a 320 linkage on my car and had to swap it for a 325 linkage to make it all fit, so if a 318is linkage is the same as a 325 then I guess it will be ok!

Iirc 318is linkage is longer, 325i is what you need.
