It would be a more straight forward job compared to doing it for the E30. As for "PUPUS ENGINE", the last of the M42 were produced in 1995 before it was replaced with the M44. So the engine you'll get from the yards would be at least 15 years... However, the M42 is known to be a hardy, robust engine requiring only routine maintenance... Price for the M42 is also getting a bit high nowadays. I guess there are less and less M42 to be sourced,  hence the 'PUPUS ENGINE' comment.</blockquote>
