Exclamation Engine/tranny swap

I would like to know if it's possible to swap-out my '86 325 engine (118,xxx miles) and/or tranny INTO my '83 733i (242,xxx miles), and if so, what modifications, if any, need to be done? Both vehicles have 5-speed manual trannys.
Thanks in advance.

The 325 engine may be a bit under powered

Yes its possible but you might have to switch the trannys, and it will be slightly underpowered. It will also be a lot of time, work and money

You might want to talk to Dwight at zionsvillemotorsport.com. He is very experienced with all bimmers and conversions. Good luck with it. While the motor is out, you might as well rebuild and refresh it.
