bro
M20 engine can go in E21 body

1. brake servo can go in but, need some modify
rear disc E30 can't fit in E21
totally is two different body and axle
except u cut it and welding body
ask inchiwan2. he using volvo type to modify

2. use back original E21 radiator, i think E30 radiator too big

3. steering rack of course can't fit-lah, E30 more longer
dashboard can-lah

4. rear axle not need to change
propellar shaft change only

that is my opinion
thank u
any E21 sifu please give idea to eau-rouge :lol:

Hv u tried 1st division, CSS, Bomin or Munich auto to source for radiator... check it out...

Or if can go near any abandon e21, see if it is auto, hence the radiator can be acquuired...

e30 small radiator maybe possible, but need to confirm on mounting points, and hoses shapes and fittings for coolant/water flow from engine to radiator vice versa...

good luck...
