hi I have searched and not found much info on e36 4 to 6 cyl conversionsjust a few questions
1. will i need to put the 520i's diff on or will mine be fine?
2. Do the brakes from a E34 fit fit the E36? fronts and also rear disc conversion?
3. i know i need new clocks to suit the new engine
4. can i sqeeze the battery in the engine bay or will it have to go into the boot?
5. an N reg 520i has the 24v M50TUB20 engine with the single Vanos. am i correct?
6. Anything I must know that i might not?
me and a friend will be doing it over the may bank holiday. we are both quite mechanically minded and have done a few conversions in the past.
doing the conversion because we have a cosmetically shite 520i sitting around so we thought we may aswell drop it in my E36 318i as it has done a lot less miles, sounds nicer, looks nicer, and is far smoother.
thanks in advance!!
