Yes but you need to mod the gearbox mount, ,shift platform, driveshaft and rig up speed sense device on trailing arm or similar to send to speedo and modify that also from E30 as E21 are cable drive. 260 is quite a big box so may need to check trans tunnel clearance as well.

Ok, thanks. Does there exist some kind of "kit" to convert the gearbox to wire to the speedometer?
