Take the engine from a 318i late seventies. It has the same engine. M10. or you could take one of the baby sixes M20 2.0 to 2.5 liter displacement. Sixes are nice because they have perfect balance. They can be made to goo too. 2000 lbs and 150 hp sounds good to me considering you wouldn't have to do much to the M20. THe conversion is fairly involved. It bolts up but it is a tight fit. I plan to either turbocharge the M10 in my 2002 or drop in either a S14 from an E30 M3 if I can find one or the other option is Take a 13B or 12A rotary from a mazda. hope it helps. I wouldn't put in a 2.3L ford but if you do, Take from a '87 SVO Msutange or a Merkur. The 2.5L ford ranger motor is basically a strocked pinto motor.
