Um… how to say… if your goal is to make the 335 engine work in 320 body shell, then you can definitely do it. However, if your goal is to turn 320 into 335 in terms of balance/performance by changing its engine, it’s hardly to achieve. Whichever way you go, good luck!
Is a 330Ci fast?
It’s pretty quick, not fast by my definition though. I raced my friends Prelude on the highway once and from about 50-90 I had at least a 3 car lenght lead on him. His car runs 14.8-14.9’s. So I would say a stock 330ci 5-speed could run anywhere from 14.5-14.7 with a good driver.
