Thanks tlake

It’s indeed a project with lots of effort. I am into the lighter m20 engine so need to improve the power by increasing the stroker and plus a high cam. Hope the result would be rewarding.

Hi Mike, many thanks for your valuable input.

I am with you that realoem is literally making our life much easier when organizing project. As you are aware, not every part is that accessible in certain area/country. So I am down to m20 because the parts and maintenance is quite common in Taiwan ...

Hi all,

Glad to be in the community. I am working on my project as follows,

Chassis: 1980 E12 520/6 3hp22 (factory setup)

Project
-engine: modified M20B27
-gearbox: G265/5 CR, aka Dogleg (come alone with gearbox itself only, don’t know what original donor car is).
-bellhouse: is compatible ...

Thank you Mike.

I would always recommend the original BMW service manuals.

Enclose the car model year and basic spec here. Thanks.

Deal all,

I need the complete wiring diagrams for my 1980 E12 520/6.

It has been dissembled for 5 years, and now I have difficulty to put wiring back after finishing recent body work.

Your help would be much appreciated.
