Hopefully I can use it lol
I just bought it off the Facebook E21 page. I didn't have time to research whether it's the right one for me, but I got it for cheap so I figure if I can't use it I'll make a little money reselling it. Anybody have a rundown on the different dog-legs? This one came out of an '80 323i. I'm hoping to mate it to my M42 which if I remember right shares a bellhousing pattern with the M20. He couldn't tell me much about it except what it came out of and that it is in good condition.
sweet score!! I believe its a 245/10, and yea, super jealous.
If you ever decide to get rid of it... dibs?

Congrats on the dog-leg find & acquistion.

yup, same bolt pattern.
the M42 sits at 30º of engine angle, the M20 sits flatter then the M10 so you might have to do a custom shifter. also the G245 is longer then the G240 so a new shifter platform and a shorter driveshaft, all doable. how much more can the E30's driveshaft collapse?
one more thing brian, how about putting me at the top of that wait list )

I have my m20 sitting practically on the firewall. e30 driveshaft is collapsed all the way.
A dogleg would be nice but I would be afraid racing it. Unless I had a spare
^ you're going to have to elaborate. brian is running a M42, G240 and an E30 318 shaft, you're using a M20, G260 and E30 3xx shaft.
