A buit + possibly boosted M/S 50/52 makes much more sense i think, considering all the hard work has already been done in all the swaps that have come before.
this reminds me of a custom fabricated e30 around an s85. obviously ferrari-price but I don't think it gets any better than that.

Totally agree on the built and boosted M50... which is why there's an M50 in my garage
there's turbo parts, MLS headgasket, ARP studs, etc lying around too. 450 wheel is my eventual goal (anything more in an E30 is pretty much unusable) and the only real reason I'd go S54 is to feed my inner purist and stay N/A.
Oh and that S85... especially with the Dinan stroker... is God's gift to pavement.
