Hi i have done the e30 m30 conversion but got sold a cracked block.(dont ask pissed isnt the word)
My engine is a e28 535 engine, but i have been offered a e32 730 block ..
Im unsure because of it being a 3.0 would it still mate up or will i have a big power loss...
My last option is buying an complete engine again and having a sh*t load of spares..
Any help is much apreciated...

An E32 730i short engine/block will be useless.

Just buy another E28 535i engine. You will buy a really nice one for £300.

Pacerpete on here has a 635CSi Auto with an absolutely cracking engine. I'd imagine @ £300 would buy it.
