Currently building up parts for a M52 swap. Where would be the best place (in your opinion) for a M52 engine swap? Cant seem to find any reliable sources. Any help from Scotts who have had an engine swap done in a garage would be appreciated immensely.

Cheers!

The only E30 specialists in scotland that I know of is Boyd at Bavarian Retro in hamilton. I have never had a bad experience with him but he has had negative feedback in the past from others.

Might be worth asking magpie if he would be interested in the work as he has done a few swaps.

Although he's in Newcastle its not that bad a drive from scotland.

All the people up here who have done swaps have done them on their own.

Boyd has been recently introduced to m52 swaps so it's worth giving him a call.
