Its a good book i bought it when i was looking for an E30 as it had a good buying guide, it does cover some conversions 2.7 and 2.8 IIRC and is a very good source of facts and numbers.

lots of stuff of what diff, gear box, engine numbers mean what car there off what car they will fit. gear box, diff ratios that sort of thing also has a good bit on the maintance side of things.

there is some stuff that came from the zone (as a zoner wrote it iirc) but its a very good book to have IMO :D
