E36 316i compact- e46 2.5 conversion
Discussion
Not sure its worth bothering with when you can pick up an E46 325ti compact for £1-2k unless you just want to do it for the challenge of doing it. Flogging the two cars you have would probably raise most of the funds required to get a ti wouldn't it, and you'd get the later E46 rear suspension rather than the E30 based rear suspension on the E36 compact (unless that's desirable for rallying?)
I was going to put a 330i engine in my 325 compact, I still might, its a relatively cheap option and I believe the most power you'd get in relation to cost, even more tempting after one of the chaps on here stated that I'd get more power than the extra 40bhp the engine produces in the 330 as he said the diff and gear ratios in the 325 are different, so would get even more.
Sorry thought you had the entire E46 325 as well, the 325 engines seem sell on Ebay for ~£300+ though so might generate some cash.
If you want to rally it I'm pretty sure you'll need to make it roadworthy and tax/MOT it anyway.

The 316 I have though isn't worth anything no mot no tax nothing been off the road for about 2 years so needs work and I probably won't get much for just the 2.5 engine alone
