Will it fit? By that I mean does it just bolt up to the z3 gearbox?
Having read up a bit about the 1.9 motor, most forum contributors just recommend buying one with a six in it in the first place if you want more than 140bhp, as engine swaps will quickly soak up the gdp of a small country.
This type of car really should be about more than just going fast though. If you want fast you could always pick up an M3/Evo/Scoobie/Skyline for similar money. It won't make you feel anywhere near as good as driving a SWB with even a humble 1.8 under the bonnet though.
