    Just curious as to how feasible would it be to transplant the motor to a 94 C280.

    You would have to swap the long block in, the 97' was electronic throttle.

    Would the ECU from the 94 be able to run the 3.6L motor properly? I believe there is member that did the conversion using the longblock and the car didn't quite run correctly. Also from your experience can the standard 4speed automatic handle the extra output of the motor?

    The trans should be fine, though the 4-speed was a bit of a dog.

    You would need to recode your ME, so SDS would be required. Or run a ME out of a 95' C36, that should be plug and play if I'm not mistaken. The very early cars weren't on a CAN network and weren't coded, so everything was plug and play.

    You think that flywheel fits a 113? I'm pretty sure it will!

    Hmm maybe, the flex plates on the 113 aren't common #'s with I6/I4..doesn't mean it wont fit though!.

    If I could find someone to swap the motor I would seriously consider doing a swap. In the meantime any idea how much for the front brakes?

    Christopher, I'm gonna check with the guy see what a fair price for the corner lights is. All the Paypal will go to him, as well as shipping will be done by him. I will be the middle man to help figure out prices for things.

    Sorry, no shipping overseas on big items.

    Cross pipe is availible, I believe the tabs for the 10mm nuts are broken, but it stays on fine. Let me get a price figure, those are hard to come by.

    How much for the ECU & TB? Would the transponder chip be provided with the ECU?

    Thegame, this is one pic the guy sent me, if you would like more, I will meet him and take a few more. Let me know.



    Vincent, the ECU in that car is toast. It's a long story but not something you would want. I can possibly sell the throttle though. Let me know.
