how about a S50B32 swapped into the e30 M3......321hp e36 Euro M3 engine. Thats got to have enough HP for daily driving purposes. Or is that the motor you were referring to??

Oops! You're right, my mistake.

The S50 swap has been done enough that it's not that hard of a swap to accomplish. I've been considering dropping that or another engine in once I'm not DDing the E30 anymore. Actually as far as having enough hp for driving purposes, anything more than 200 is enough to propel this car through space. It's very, very light, so 200hp will act like 300+ in your average sized car. 300hp in an E30 is like building a rocketship. I'm hoping to eventually get mine to around 320-330 as anything more makes the tires walk sideways.
