Engine swap idea... 3.3 i6 into a 95' 318is?
-
Even if you get it running, it would probably need a rebuild to get back to the stock 194 hp. It's a good chance that the mounts are different, so custom fab there. You'd probably have to use the old transmission too, so the driveshaft is likely a different length, and custom linkages needed to the shifter. A better option is to swap an m50 based I6 into your 318, such as the s52 I have for sale
. Or, find another 91-95 3-series with good paint and interior but a bad motor and sell your car since it runs fine (not sure which works out better money-wise). -
E36 318i would go good with a M70B50. Now thats a swap. But seriously, give me that shark nose. I saw it when I was picking up the E28 and the body is nice.

I believe they are made of different materials as well... m30 would be better if you're looking to boost probably

Also, with the title situation, how do you plan on getting rid of the shell? A scrap yard probably wouldnt even take it.
on an old vehicle like that it would probably be much easier to recover the title with the engine still in the car

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get title with this MV 3623 form.

yes 3623 and a state officer is all you need also any competent scrap yard or tow yard will take vehicles with out a title you just need to sing twice and have a drivers license
