Who wants to make a 340is?

Found this post on bimmerforums. Looks like a PITA
someone said:
The original car was a 318ic--so there wasn't a whole lot to start with-- added 328i LSD, Custom steering linkage, rerouted ABS, 740i driveshaft, custom engine mounts, 4.4L out of a 540i, manual trans out of a 530i v8, M3 lightened flywheel, 530i pressure plate, 99 540i clutch, the whole trans clutch thing was the biggest headache, SM4 engine management, the oil pan issue was taken care of with a custom sump system, the engine was moved forward to accomodate the master cylinder. This week the custom exhaust goes in--remus muffler, 8.5x19 fronts and 9.5x19 rear, short shifter.
Heres a link to images:

its definitely not a reasonably easy affair, but can be done.

I don't have the money either. I would probably have to get a new tranny, fuel pump, the whole 9 yards. Maybe in the future when I'm a millionaire with nothing to do. It would be awesome if I could do it though

First, the swap has been done before, and theres plenty of information on it, google is your friend.
Second, if you are unsure about rebuilding an engine, a swap is probably out of the question
