fitting e36 m40 to e30 318i

[les3002]

what would need to be done to fit a e36 m40 in place of the m40 in my e30?

is it just a case of swapping the sumps and pickup pipes?

I thought it was the M42 in the E36?

[les3002]

thats the later ones isnt it? i thought the early ones were the belt driven m40?

what about the e34 518i engine?

you need to change the sump and pickup pipe plus you need to change the inlet manifold and throtle body form the e30 engine onto the e36 engine
