i would say its far to big for the car, but like said above if yopu got the cash

someone has put 4wd sierra cosworth running gear in to a valver so its possible.

but its not like it bolts in.

Wouldnt it need converting to RWD?

 

[MATT BLACK]

why an M3 ?

 

[Hector]

there was a ford ka with an escort cosworth engine in it at doncaster last year.

 

[Ben j]

course u can! put it in the back! RWD! BEAST!

cossie engine is nice and small an M3 lump assumign its a newish one is a 6 cylinder and not small.

Cossie lump is pretty much the same size as the lump in there.

you;d have alot of hassle with cutting back the bulkhead, building a tranny tunnel, a RWD suspension seembly, or run a live axle setup, build your own dash (6 pot beemer will poke out your stereo).

why?

just wondering as the only bmw i like is the m3

and was just really wondering what engines i can and cant put into my valver

 

[spirez]

Buy an M3 then?

 

[Loopz]

sure, why not?

but when you think about all the mods youd have to do, it would be a lot easier to just slap a valver hull on an M3, lol

good luck though, if you decide to go for it anyway

 

[6secClio]

haha i cant afford an m3

well not at the mo anyway

 

[mr_merc]

but you can afford an M3 engine and to put it in a valver...?

(and then insure it)

Theyve put an M3 in a new shape mini, that needed some work getting that in. Was pretty fast, was raced in a European league.

really all im trying to see is if it can be done and what engines from various cars can be used in a valver

doesnt mean i wanna do it or have the money to do so

i was curious and asked
