Is it possible to engine swap a volvo T5 engine in to something like a bmw 318 or a nissan 240sx?

You can swap anything into anything if you have the patience and the cash for it.
Yeah but is it pretty easy to swap that engine into those cars? Have you seen other people doing it?^^
I think it’s possible but the major challenge is coupling a front-drive spec engine into a totally different rear wheel drive spec transmission , you must need a custom plate for bolting the engine into the tranny , it’s tricky and pretty much unsafe . What about get a turbo for the original engine ?
Oh that seems pretty complicated :(
I suppose it might be easier in a 240SX. Wouldn’t do it in a BMW at all.
I know there are someone who has put Volvo 4cyl engines in 200sx, so..
Why not in the bmw ?=/
Yes, many people have made it - a lot of work though.
Is it =/
It will be possible the volvo M90 gearbox should bolt up to a volvo whiteblock engine (the 4/5/6 pots of the mid 90’s) but you’ll have to check the forums to be sure, and to get all the nessesary info.
