my diff ratio will be the tallest possible which is 3.07 lsd
If you're talking E34 then the tallest Diff AFAIK is the 2.93 from the 540i's.

Make sure it is a good set; S38B38's are highly strung and prone to sudden failure; I know as I've BTDT. Also parts are NLA for six speed gearbox rebuilds.

will it fit under the transmission tunnel?
AFAIK you'll be the first to try it so you tell us. An E24 was converted to full E39 S62 running gear a few years ago and needed major surgery for the gearbox IIRC.

Completely custom brackets and you'll need a E12 based manual pedal box and all the clutch control gubbins. You may have to tinker and experiment with clutch slave and master cylinders too.

I assume you mean propshaft and yes, you'll have to make a custom propshaft.

Don't forget front suspension upgrading for the significant weight gain and the brake upgrades to rein you back in.
