'82 316 Engine Swap Querey
Posted: Sun May 26, 2013 10:29 am
Hi guys,
I've had my e21 for about eight months now and I'm now looking at swapping the engine or possibly tuning it's existing M10. I've read up on M20
swaps and looks like it would be a big mission! I've also read that the M42 swap would be an easier swap than the M20, but I'm still not 100% sure.
I'd love to have an opinion on someone who has previously swapped an M42 or M20 engine, just for some sound advise on where to start...
A bonus would be if any of you are mechanics that wouldn't mind helping me out with the swap - I'll pay of course, would be great to talk to someone
in the know.
I will appreciate any advise from you guys, seeing as you all sound like mechanics to me haha.
Here are a couple of pics for you all to enjoy:
Cheers,
Jack.
