W123 Wagon w/ BMW M30b35 Drift Car

Hey guys, I've been thinking lately and really would like to build a drift car. I have a w123 wagon that I used as a parts car for my other 123 that would make a perfect candidate. Do you guys think the bmw m30b35 would fit in the bay? What kinds of custom fabrication do you think would need to be done besides motor mounts, driveshaft, and that kind of stuff. What kind of rear end would i use? Would this swap be doable? Thanks a lot guys.

You mean something like this?? All you need is a 617 and a big f'en turbo.

In that video IIRC it was still a stock block. I don't think the wrecked the internals when they went to forged pistons and rods, but they do continue to have problems ripping the mains out of the block from what I'm told. They were changing some things with their FI setup and I think they have a stable setup currently, but it's been a while since I've read their blog on it.
