an idea i had the other day was to drop a M50 or M52 into a 325ix. obviously this will be a right headache if the blocks differ so the M20 sump can't be fitted as afaik it houses / mounts the front diff
am i dreaming or is it possible? i've seen a M30 powered ix but that needed a completely custom sump and a load of aggro.
how similar is a M50 / M52 to a M20?

so, it's not just a 24v version of a M20 then 
525ix could be pillageable though, good idea
not that i'm likely to do it, i just thought it would be neat and to my knowledge, hasn't been done
