Default ENGINE PROBS help

hi there, BMW engine query, i know few of you have bmw's maybe you could help



my mothers 530i (236bhp) engine has let go, we have sourced an m3 evo engine

do you think it will bolt straight onto the autobox??? will the autobox be able to withstand the higher bhp and torque??

is it best to stick the 6 speed box in with it?? will this pose problems fitting?


thanks for any help in advance

carl
