I have an extra engine (currently in parts) waiting to be built (3.8L stroker). Is it feasible to plant this engine in the e30 m3 body. I know alpina did it with a 3.5L engine. I would guess that the weight of front end would be increased by 50% (assuming the s14 is simply a shortened s38). Has anyone experimented with this idea?
