i have a e30 with a 2.7 alpina engine i want to put this into my 318i cab i know i will need to swap the diff, gearbox, engine, prop, mounts, ecu, exhaust. i currentcly have 325i springs on the cab will i need to change the shocks aswel or the cab ones are strong enough as the cabs do wight more and they are generally stronger than the 318i saloon.

what other bits will i need to do and change over from the 327 to the cab?

Radiator, oil cooler.
Recently i done 316 to 325 conversion for my friend, everything is bolt-on.
Also, dont forget the brakes. 316/318 got front not vented and rear drums.
