The outgoing engine. That's fair enough, I thought perhaps you could shed some light on the hurdles of converting NA to FI. Unfortunately SC 350s aren't particularly common so info is fairly thin on the ground. Thanks for the reply nonetheless.
Specs on the outgoing motor can be seen in the sale ad on ebay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/281536450517?item=28153645...
The need for stronger internals is probably going to be governed by the amount
of boost you will be running, turbo or SC, etc. Hardware is probably also going
to be the least of your problems, programming the ECU properly is the hard part.

i've only just stumbled upon this thread. good luck with the build, i'll watch with interest.
i sold my e30 m3 v10 a couple of weeks ago, and have just started an e46 m3 v10 project
Good to know of others that have swapped the S85 into an E30,i sold my e30 m3 v10 a couple of weeks ago, and have just started an e46 m3 v10 project
might have to pick your brain when the time comes, pretty sure
there will be alot of headscratching

Just read the thread from the link on e30 zone. Here is a photo of my v10 e30 m3. one suggestion I have is to cut the front off the oil pan ( sump) to the oil level sensor, this will allow you to mount the crossmember / steering rack as far back as possible
Yours looks super nice and tidy. I might have to pick your brains at some point

I decided to go for a manual 6 speed behind my V10... decided is a strong word as my wife insisted on a manual!
Are you going to be upgrading any of the internals? crank, vanos etc? or 'just' doing a refresh?
I will be going with CP pistons and Carrillo rods. Block is sleeved.Are you going to be upgrading any of the internals? crank, vanos etc? or 'just' doing a refresh?
Still debating whether to go for the stroker crank.
I think I need to work on the man maths some more for that to happen.
