It will - would be easier to transfer all the diff internals to a e30 case diff. I think the subframe mounting points are different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coffee&Doughnut 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 The 323i is a wreck and the guy at the yard said he was pretty sure it had a LSD in it, I was thinking maybe I could salvage it, I dont know what ratio it is, but then again what about the manual gear box would that bolt up as well? I could probally just take the whole thing off his hands would be easier but I dont know if I have the space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 According to the all powerful ETK: The LSD Centre was only used on E21's, How ever the side bearings are the same as a type 168 (small case) diff (found in E30/36's). The stub axles are also E21 specific, whether that is because the splines count or dia. is different!?!?! And No the complete diff will not bolt into a E30 subframe. If you can get it cheap enough, have a play!! Oh, BTW it should be a 3.45:1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
