thanks...only hoping anyway (archive)

: Hello,
: there are a lot of changes: (Not complete)
: The oil sump must be changed
: The holders for the gear box
: The propellor shaft must be shortened and you need the flange from the M30 propellor shanft.
: Special engine holders.
: The gearchange linkage must be shortened.
: The engine position should be much backward as possible, because the car is quite front loaded with the M30. Then you must change "the wall behind the engine" (no right word!?!).
: When you place the engine more forward you must change the front part and you must shorten the water pump. And the driveability is not so good.
: You also need a bigger cooler (and a good electric fan).
: You need a special exhaust.
: A cooled diff is also useful. The Alpina B6-rear cover (for the diff) has two holders.
: The bearings of the normal driveshafts could break when you have much power, good tires and a lot of grip.
: Bigger brakes are useful.

: Greetings Oliver Hitzel

: : I have found a 3.0L M-30 engine and harness for sale and would like to put it into my 323i....and thoughts? What are the problems? How about the cost involved....

thanks for the info, this was just a pie-in-the-sky anyway.....
