Im looking at moveing an e46 330 engine into a non vanos e36 (obd1) 325.

Normally this would almost be a pointless thing to do, bar i have the compete 330 and its supercharged (its and estate). I spent a number of years on building up my e36 trackcar, and now it just needs more power, and this 'seems' a quick/cheap win.

Moving the engine/gearbox/peddles/steering/ecu column etc (along with the back axle should we all well and good), the problem i think I will face is around the medling of the e46 cambus with the e36. I can move most across, but im not sure where I should 'stop' the e46 and use the e36, as obviosuly things like lights etc in the e36 are not cambus based.

Any ideas??

Maybe something like this would help with the engine side of things.
