[QUOTE="ichiwan2, post: 112555, member: 153"] I think there is more to it than just plonking an engine from the e30. The speedo will not work for instance. I have seen an e21 with the 2.5 engine from the e30 where the dashboard , wiring harnesses and instrumentation were also transplanted. There will be a fair amount of work. Might as well plonk in a 3.5 litre M30 into it like Hartge did. U will also need to get the differential off an e24 to cope with the additional torque Don't forget to upgrade your brake booster and calipers (go for Girling 4 pot - from Volvo 240) Good luck!
