So I'm on a budget, no one cares about my gauge cluster...so i did some cheesy microsoft paint to a pic of a 190e 2.6 just like mine. You like my new black rims with the silver lip? Just a rattle can of black BBQ paint away bab

Next Swap Kit
I will be making a Basic V8 swap kit for this car next spring. I have built a kit for and now swapping in an LM7 5.3l V8 into a Porsche 944. The Benz 190 will be fun to do. I just don't like the steering box. I am curious if a front sump oil pan from an LS series would be better for keeping the stock 190 steering set-up.....If you guys don't know, the 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 ltr motors can be had for nuthing and compare nicely to the all alloy LS motors at @ 1/4th the price. I got a 43K miles complete motor.access. and harness for $600 and parts are dirt cheap, the LS cams, heads, intake swap right over......

Nah.
Just in hibernation.
Building other projects....upgrading my trucks stereo.....adding parts to my jet ski....working on other peoples cars.....and last but not least....general laziness
Ordering exhaust tubing....at least thats what I keep telling myself.
Have to send some w124 wagon hubs to south carolina to have them broached for cobra spline to accept outer axle tripods.

Did this ever get finished?
Dude, you gotta get this thing done to shut up all those naysayers. ....
I'm working on one with a ford V8 and 5 speed.

190E AMG (Senna Edition)
Not to derail the thread, but I am planning what almost sounds like the same thing that you are doing with your W201. My plan is a 351W stroked to 427ci and a either a Tremec T-56 Magnum 6-speed or TKO 5-speed. How about yourself, what are you working on dropping in specifically?
Cheers,
190E AMG

351w to 393 stroker with an R154 supra turbo 5 speed. I'm starting off carrbureted but plan on multi point EFI in THE future for disability and power. I'm shooting for 450 hp. What's your combo? I don't think there's any chance of hi jack. I think the OP hasn't posted in a while. PM me for details.
