You can get one from an E34 M50B20 or M50B25

I also want to do this swop, is the E30 gearbox a straightforward bolt-on onto the M50 engine?

That depends on which box you have...it's not completely straightforward. I suggest you do some searching, there shoudl be info on this, or make a new thread.
