C36 transplant
I'm actually looking for a C36 right now. It's extremely rare over here in Malaysia though. I've only ever seen 1 on the road. I'm looking to buy 1 but seeing as it's so hard to find, I thought about getting the cheapest C180 I can find with a pristine chassis, then buy a C36 half cut n then doing a complete C36 conversion on the C180. The half cuts r available at the yards here. I wouldn't mind a C43 either if I see the half cut around the car yards.
Is it a monumental task or easy swap? I've been googling for hours n cant seem to find any info on this.

it would be much better to stick the amg M104 in a 190E with a getrag 5-speed. If you were going to swap it in the 202 it would be about the same price to just buy a real C36

However, modding cars n doing conversions over here in Malaysia is really affordable. The half cuts of all kinds of exotics are cheap n readily available n labor is pretty cheap too. That's y I was thinking of doing a C36 conversion if I cant find a C36 for sale.

I have found a C36 for sale but that weirdo changed all the front+rear bumpers, side skirts to C43. Changed all the front lights with crystal lens, smoked rear lights with LEDs. He also covered all the interior wood panels with fake vinyl carbon fiber stickers. &#^$%@! I just dont understand why he did that to a C36.
