question about modding the c240 engine

i just found out that the engine in my 240 is the same in the 320. the only difference is the stroke. can anyone tell me what internal parts i need to change in order to make my car a 320?Also if there are any other parts related to the powertrain that i would have to change?

thanks
Bennie

How and why did the warranty on your car get voided?

old BRABUS pricing info thread

With the normal increase of pricing and the value of his car he'd be better off buying a used C32 and getting rid of his car.

c240
my car got flooded and i bought it back cheap from the insurance company. i used the extra money to pay my tuition. i got some extra cash, and my pops got a machine shop, so he'll be able to do it. i've asked him a bunch of times to look into it but he's really busy and doesnt find the time to check what engine internal parts are different.

At the very minimum...

Just for a start-crankshaft,rods,camshafts,balancer,ECU.I'd be very surprised if there aren't a LOT of other less obvious but equally important differences.
A better approach would be to install a C320 engine and drivetrain from a wreck.
