Hi, am looking at taking out my 3.0 csi engine from my e9 csi and detailing engine bay etc while its out. I have an option on a 1981 euro 3543cc big bore engine with a 5 speed speedo drive getrag attached. Engine is complete and very very sweet having been overhauled by BMW dealer for an insurance claim only 6 months ago. In this configuration, I am often confused by different looking engine intake manifolds etc and heights from the manifold upwards etc. I have heard about the brake booster problems etc and will sort this, but despite every engine swap forum, this exact swap is something i cant find. What can i expect different to my 3.0 in terms of performance etc and the 5 speed is surely a good move isnt it?
I can buy complete engine with gearbox for 1500 and all bolt ons etc, bellhusing, tailshaft for recut and forks etc, basically from fan to diff .
Thoughts anyone....thanks in advance
