Re: 340 and BMW 2.5 straight 6
Glad to see ze Germans have been sent packing! Just kidding...looked interesting!
VW 1.9? Solid engine...that mated to a 360 drivetrain (easy install) should be pretty solid, and they make lots of power easily.
cheers

Re: 340 and BMW 2.5 straight 6
No, it doesn't...sorry...wasn't too clear on that point...you'd need to make an adaptor. But the 360 drivetrain would take the torques one of those things delivers (in vaguely stock form, anyway). A bellhousing adaptor is a lot less radical than shoehorning in a different drivetrain.
The engine in question is fitted to almost everything they made between about 1993 and...er...last year? Older ones have less electronics. They're hilariously tiny...here's one in a 240...
