Welded E12 Diff with Stronger CV's
Getrag 260 box
Race clutch

May go to Gaydon but will have to be in my 635 as the E21 is likely to be in bits for a wee while.

M20 mounts going to be used? Awesome engine. your car will lift its front wheels off the ground.

Also if you can arrange a group buy on strengthened drive shafts Im sure there would be a load of us who want them.

May go for Hockey Pucks, Looking at the block I don't think the M20 engine mounts fit like they do for the M50/52 transplant.

Jason was looking into the CV's, just need to get some std ones measured then we can find out prices.
