Go to E30 Zone and register, it's free. It's by far the best source of any info' whatsoever on E30 cars.

There's lots of guys in the UK who have swapped out their M20's and installed the 3.5lt M30's and the 2.5 M50's as well as many other swaps.

Good luck.

Honestly, from personal experience, rebuild what you got and turbo it. I like my swap, but I would'nt do it over again.

Turbo m50> turbo m20 any day but there isn't a whole lot power upgrade going from m20 to m50, get an s50/2 or it really isn't worth the trouble if you're staying NA
