325 with m40 gbox and 3.64 lsd?

[bmw9818]

is it possible to mate the m20 block with an m40 316 box and 3.64 lsd...

if so whats the outcome?

i know a high diff will cause ridiculous rpm at speed but what about that match? is it simple remove box and bolt on jobby..

and will the m20 clutch flywheel etc be fine with the box?

Gearbox will be at a weird angle I expect - the reverse of fitting the M20 box to an M50 engine. It should bolt up, but a lot of messing - gearbox cross member, gear linkage.
