For the E36 Getrag 250 you use the stock manual transmission crossmember, stock transmission mounts (E21 320i mounts are a possible upgrade). The radiator will work fine, and as for the drive train i'm not really sure what diff ratio you have now, so it all depends on what and when you want your power..
