Early 316 engine swap for a 323i or e30 325i
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2013 12:23 am
Right picked up a 1975 316 manual chrome mirror version a while back. It's mot's ,taxed and insured. I also have a manual 323i donor car sitting on the driveway. plan was to take the engine out ancillaries etc and store them and transplant them in to the 316 in the future.
I remember reading that although you can swap everything , you have to adapt some parts due to the earlier shells. Can anyone tell me what needs doing. I've had a quick scan on the search bar. If all seems straightforward and if i have the funds, i may go ahead with the transplant sooner than later.
Toying with the idea of sourcing an e30 dash as the one i have in the 316 is cracked and is the early style. Air con would be cool, same sort of setup as Arshad....
Thoughts and views welcome
I'll get some pictures up ...
