It's been done plenty of times Georgieporgie
Have a look at this thread
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... ic&t=50014
and another thread call M50 developments or something similar
In case you didn't know - the E36 engine is called an M50
apparently with your existing gearbox and a 320i prop shaft, plus obviously suitable engine mountings, cooling and wiring you're away!
Not easy mind you!
