IX engine to IS chassis...

[Switch]

ok, i have posted on r3vlimited, but really really need more opinions and facts (no offense to r3v) anyway..,

i have a 1986 325is..
in a nut shell, i am looking for a new engine..

i found a reasonable priced engine, it only has 75k miles on it..

and it was from a 1990 325ix..
the guy is going to pull it out of car for my first thign tom morning. so i need to know how much of a hassel this is really going to be..
if i put this IX engine into my IS car, what probs will i run into trying to do it?
i know i need to swap the oil pan and the oil pump..
someone said something about having a prob with the dipstick
and someone mentions the motor mounts are different,,
if motor mounts are dif. can i use the mounts off my IS?

basically i need to know if this engine is even worth it, will it be to much of a headache. only things are, i really need an engine ASAP, and a low mileage m20b25 is very hard to find..

thanks..
