E36 Sedan motor swap into coupe

[Jay6880]

Guys,

Planning to take the 2.8 and manual ZF trans out of an E36 sedan and drop it into a E36 coupe. The question I have is does the pedal box, clutch master cylinder, clutch lines, shifter etc from the sedan bolt straight into the coupe shell?
Appreciate any help.

The best thing to do would be to use a website like realoem.com or bmwmobile-tradition.com and look up the part numbers for the sedan and coupe that you have. That should show you whether they use the same parts, or if there is something specific to the coupe vs the sedan.

If you have both chassis now, those websites allow you to use the VIN to choose the correct model and build month/year for the chassis.
