Well i finally have an update about the swap and how it was doing for the past few months. The BP i put in the car had great compression but the oil rings were done and i was burning 2L of oil in less than 1000km. After some time i decided it would be cheaper to get a new BP so i found one with 180,000km for $120 and did the swap this past weekend. The car now runs like a top and this engine was in way better shape than the last. Here are some pics....
here is one of the wheel i got out of an 88 323 gt

This looks like a very nice job. Did you have to rework the fire wall at all? From the pics it doesn't look like you did. I've bee wondering if there is a way to avoid the mashed in firewall.'89L 110k mi. BP/G swapped
