Need tech info for 2.6 - 3.2l conversion
Just wondering if anybody here can help me in achieving this conversion...
I know that the C240 and the C320 use the same engine block and that higher displacement is obtained through a longer stroke... I'd like to know if therE's any way to change the stroke length on the C240?
Would I need to change the cylinder heads/pistons/crankshaft or do we need to drill the engine in order to increase the stroke length?
any help would be greatly appreciated, I understand how gasoline engine works and everything but I'm not too familiar on this..
I asked the SA at my dealer but I don't think they know sh*t about the cars... He started by telling me the C240 is a 2.4 not a 2.6... so that kinda narrows it down for me![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
thx

I'd just look for a C32 motor if youre willing to go this far. Tearing in the 2.6 to stroke it will require pulling the motor anyway. If its already out, why bother with just another 45HP? Go for nearly another 200!
