320/6 swap (M20B20 to M20B25)

Post by Yoshi »

i have read this is not a very difficult swap. i have a 320/6 with 4-speed. If i can get an M20B25 engine from E30 then what do i need more?

i found swaps on internet from 320i but cant find this. shouldn't be too hard because it's both an M20 engine right?

Yes i read that first topic. Not much difference between 320/6 and 323i?

Doubt there's much difference when exchanging the whole engine. All the same fittings, its just the wiring that you need to get your head around. I know nothing about the electrics side just yet so im reading as much as i can into it.
