Get your self down to the Santa Pod meet as there's going to be plenty of 335 owners there, come and have a chat.

I have one... I have a problem with fitting the mechanical fan in, so I installed an electric one instead. However, it won't be enough cooling to install the forced induction I intend to, so I'm gonna beat back the firewall and move it back about 10 cm.

It'll feel great, very torquey and powerful. Response isn't all that grand, stock at least. And if you're using the E34 tranny SHAVE THE FLYWHEEL!!! It's too damn heavy.
Some cars make power at the front wheels... Real cars lift them.
