e30 engine swap plz help

alright lads, benn moddin the last few days. i'm gonna tell ya this but ya might cringe. i'm fittin xr2 arches on today. i had the arches knockin around and as a laugh held em up. whoo they fit. so i thought i'd give it a go.

see my first love is modifyin cars, can't help it buy it mod it always the same. i had a bm some time ago but in the process of drivin like a c**t i stacked it. been a while to get 1 at the right price, don't like payin 2 much money for cars.

so back to the question in hand. say i get this 2.7 it'll be a case or droppin it in then changing the ecu???

second off how will i find out what wrong wit it. dont wanna be strippin down bottom ends if i dont have to, to be honest i aint a clue where i am wit these engines, i set up rockers n changed the coolin fan but much more than that i'm lost.

I have  but they on the digital camera. i aint had chance to get em off yet. if ya can wait a few days i should have finished the arches so ya can get a whole shot. Forgot to say in the previous post, its got a scooby front bumper and cavalier rear bumper.

As for this engine i am interested. got a mate checkin out part prices, but he recons it shouldn't cost too much providing the engine was running. Did you say it didn't smoke it was just noisey?? If i come n get this engine is there any chance of hearin it runnin???

cant really hear it runnin now m8 !!

 its the one nearest the car !!

well as i said im interested in the engine. prob be best to mial me ya number. mail me at mad_midscruise@hotmail.com, thats my msn too.

oh yer and me modded monster i'm making has been named scrapheap challenge by most round er.
