I think you'd be fine. The engine mounts are in the same place. I don't know if there are any other new connections that will need to be made though.

I agree. It's not worth the price you would be paying for a little performance increase. Save the money and get a 323, 325, or 328 in the near future.

True, but if you're only going for the performance increase, NO.

general preclusion about swaps? Most are done for power increase, thereby making it logical to reccomend against it.


Anyway, what happened to the old motor? Since it is obviously damaged to the point of needing removal, why not bore out the blown one and have it rebuilt better?

I was saying its not worth the increase you would expect, if any. That's why there's no point for the swap.
