OMG, thanks for the link ResB. Seen it and drooled over it! I love the e30 to death, it has ENDLESS possibilities. This V10 beast destroys almost anything.
I am looking into swapping a 535i with a 5speed into mine. This is pretty feasible and will make my car a handful of fun. However, realistically i will probably broke my 2.7L out to 2.8L and get a "i" top end conversion to have about 210hp in the end. Wish i could go nuts like this guy and put a V10 in though haha.
indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine.. I happen to like both :)

I had edited out a reference to mike and his mini in my above response.
A project like this is for someone like Mike, deep pockets, and would seem to be more rewarding than just buying more.
I plan a lot of work/improvements to my 928 when I have my house done. So someday I will be posting an interesting thread.
