190E 2.3-16
190E 2.3-16 swap to C36
Hey guys, I am starting a build today. Converting my 1987 190E cosworth to a C36. I know a lot of people will say, why would you take the Cossie out since it makes this 190E unique. I've had my fun with this car, it's time spice things up a bit.

Purchased a 1997 C36 engine. I will be keeping my getrag 5 speed trans. Installing a exedy stage 3 clutch with lightweight flywheel. I'm very excited about this build as well as my mechanic Gmo is. We will be documenting our build for everyone to see so please stay tuned.

We have a whole list of stuff we're doing, I will post as we go along.

Have a look at "Engine Swap questions" thread by kaymancoupe230.

I have posted a few photos of our C36 Engine Swap into a W201 2.6 chassis.

no updates on mine...
Still deciding if rebuilding original engine or swapping is better... are there any car meets here in the bay area?
