Anyone have a link to where I can find chassis data for a BMW E30 chassis/Tub?

This is pertinent to mating the structural bits of a BMW 318 to the upper and outer bits of a Volvo 122.

At a glance it looks like a reasonable fit for wheelbase and track.

Another question qould be what rear gears might be availble for the #30 chassis in case any Ford 302/auto combination should end up in the bay?

Not sure on exact dimensions, but for the gearing for a medium case diff, there are a ton of options. OEM from 2.73 all the way up to 4.10, and aftermarket options for things like 4.44.

If you're not in a rush, let me know what measurements you want and I can take them this week, probably.

A 302, for the most part, drops right in...
