Would like to drop a small block v8 in a 78 320i can anyone give me any help with ideas on this swap. has anyone done this before plz let me know.


I do believe you would have a weight problem. A big V8 engine in the front of that little car. you would have to rebuild the entire front of the car to hold the weight. Not to mention the drivetrain.
