The HG has gone in my 323i. I've decided to swap the engine out with an older M50 block.
From reading around it looks like I can use my manifold, loom and ECU from the 323i and it is otherwise a straight swap. Has anyone done this before? What issues arose? How long did it take? Would the extra 30KGs of weight have a signficant effect on the handling/performance? Also, I'll be using a my 323i manifold initially but will look into getting the M50 manifold modified at some later stage. |
