Project Orca is the most comprehensive source available for the E30 Twin Cam Conversion. With over two years in development, and backed by Zionsville Autosport's seventeen years of experience, we're certain you'll agree. We walk you through each of the 35 procedures step-by-step (listed below). Each section is documented with full color photos ( 490 + ) and detailed instructions.

The OBDI Conversion kit makes it possible to use 3.2 M3 and 2.8 aluminum block motors. Using the OBDI kit provides an additional 25 horsepower over the manufacturers original factory specs.
