I'm keen on this as it includings all electrics and gearbox. I also would like to say thanks for all your guys help. Thanks

Hi Guys Thanks for your comments so far and are going to have a look at the stroker thats for sale on TM sometime this week hopefully. Just one more question: Is there any other model of BMW that I can use to up rate the brakes on my E30 as this is my exit job. Thanks

Hello all. I'm a newbie to this site and a newbie to BMW cars. I just got a 1985 E30 323i 2 door and would like some help from who ever about gaining more power out of the old 2.3L six. I've been told to dump the block and get a 2.5L rebuilt,balanced,lightened and so forth and then rebuild the old 323i head for the 2.5L short block. Can anyone help me to understand why I would get more horsepower out of they above spec engine than just rebuilding the 323i 2.3L engine with the same work done to it. I'm sorry if this sound silly but I'm new to all this and just want to do the job right the first time as I only have 3g to rebuild the engine and clean up the body. I've already done the front & rear Suspension with new dobi springs and shocks plus also replaced all bushes front & rear with neoprene bushes. Brakes are next to be done but need your help as I would like to know if theres any other model braking system able to be used on a E30 for better stopping power. I've attched photo of 2.3L engine still in car. Thanks all
