thinking of a bit in the future... thinking of a 740i eng (4.4 v8) into the e30 just wondering what sort of cost i could be looking at for the parts to do it,

guessing i would need:
740 eng, loom, dials and gearbox (tho if better manual is avalible for it i am open to sugestions)
m3 diff?
custom exaust?
up-rated breaks and suspension,
new fuel pump,

anyone think of ne thing else? and what cost it would all be?
