318is to 2.7 conversion

[Bob_S]

I need some help please lads

I'm looking at putting a 2.7 into my 318is

I need to know, is it basically plug and play or do I need to plice into looms and switch stuff around.

also, will my 318is box mate up to the m20 engine?

Is there anything I need to modify or change in my engine bay as regards to size?

obviously I would need to change the rad and an electric fan could be found off something correct?

cheers all

You will need a 6 pot loom,

the 318is 'box will not fit, nor will the prop shaft.... and you'll need to change the diff,

You will need to cut off the coil pack mountings, and attach a expansion tank mount
