It will fit fine. You may need to do a bit of porting to get the inlets matched to the manifold.

dont bother with the porting just buy yourself an e30 m10 head and an facet fuel pump or a 2002 head if you can find one cheap.

bigger valves will work better with the webbers

Will run better, but will be very thirsty.

Ive recently ported an E30 head, running with fully matched inlet and twin dellorto 40's.
Standard cam. Has 130ish at the wheels, but doesnt really get fun until 4000rpm, and with spirited driving i can watch the fuel needle drop.

Currently taken to spending my time getting the girlfriends 106 diesel head gasket & injectors sorted so i can use it for any trips that dont involve roundabouts.
