C220 CDI W203
Advice Needed - Engine Swap

I have a 96 C180 auto and I have the chance to buy a C230 kompressor engine in the next few weeks for a very reasonable price.

I am led to believe the engine will just bolt up to the car however I want to know if the existing gearbox etc can handle the extra power? My thinking is the standard engine is around 120bhp and the C230K engine is 193bhp, so surely not enough to ruin a gearbox?

Any help would be massively appreciated folks!!
