Just wondering what you guys know about this swap.

I was thinking about doing an engine swap later down the road after I catch up on some bills. I was thinking about an engine and tranny from an E30 325i or something similar. Does anybody out there know how difficult this type of swap would be? I'm also wondering what some of the other alternatives are. I can't remember what the horsepower and torque is rated at on those engines either. Anybody know how much something like that costs? Oh, and is it hard to convert a 2002 to fuel injection? Any info would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron

This swap has been done but I can't find a like to a site describing it. The S14 is a common swap. To change an 02 to fuel injection isn't too hard, you will need to use the E30 318 injection or you can make your own using an 80's Ford and various other parts. I'll try and find some info for you tomorrow.
