Welcome
This is the sub forum you want:
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... forum&f=56
You will need the e30 pedal box which will bolt right in. Engine mounts you use e36 engine arms and e34 m5 mounts iirc, I used AKG mounts, recommended if your car is going to see track use. Gearbox mounts depend on what box you use (for example I used my sport box with a modified crossmember)

I can sell you the COMPLETE conversion with EVERYTHING you need for a fair price. Or you can buy the whole car and save yourself lots of money / welding / aggro
