The V8 Owners Forum -

thats pretty cool where did you source the engine from what else did you need to fit it.

thanks.i know alpina did this,parts still available but approx 1600 quid for engine mounts and modified sump.want to try and do this on a budget.got the compact will start looking for a donor 540,and take it from there.

any info on swapping 4lt v8 from 540 e34 into 316 compact e36.thinking bout doing this for winter project.engine mounts crossmember clearances etc thanks.
