You'll never be able to use absolutely everything from one car. Bigger engines come from bigger, longer cars; that means the length of the drivetrain from the engine to the diff won't physically fit in your car. Your current diff is effectively useless for anything other than the engine you have.

There's a huge amount of info on the Wiki; just start on the Main Page and click Engines or Drivetrain, and start reading. There's also the Engine Swap part of this forum with an entire section dedicated to the M30 engine.

Interesting looking building

I'm guessing you've used an ultra-wide angle lens or maybe a fisheye with lens correction through P.shop? Tonemapping is a bit OTT for me but I like the look of that building

Bit of advice, really do spend an evening looking through the engine swap section as it'll give you insight into each conversion and the pros/cons/costs of each. You'll be able to make a far more informed descision on which route to take.

Coming on here with all guns blazing really won't help you. Hang around long enough and you'll realise the same questions get asked all the time when all the info is there to read. There's loads of great info on here at your disposal, so yeah read some of it

,, thanks again to every ones help, i did not mean to lose it with who ever is was the other night that told me to bugger off.. i understand you prob get the same newbys asking the same shit but i just needed to know what direction to take ,, im slowly working this site out,, and have found the sections you've mentioned and will be going though them,, lol

my mate is the one who took the photo so dont know how or what he did, the camber is tucked right in but this photo seems to make it look a bit worse, we only had about 10 mins there and then it got dark so photos are not as good as they could be,, we will do a nice shoot after iv finished the bodywork and have better light,,

as for my art work and ink, there be a website done soon so will send you a link if you want to check it out pete..

You couldn't make it up!

I wasn't telling you to bugger off. I told you to bugger off and read the engine swap section, because I thought it would help. No offence intended so let's leave it at that. M30 was one I forgot - it's a good engine. Good luck with your project.

It's just a shame that the old airfield is basically pothole (read: crater) heaven these days, meaning accessing the building via car is quite dodgy. It used to be a place where people would learn to drive a car and hammer it up and down the old runways, no though you put your car's life at steak.

It used to be a national and possibly international racing circuit, but used to have problems with mist and fog affecting visibility.
