Custom 5-Speed C36 in a 190

Not sure if any of you have seen this car. I saw it recently in my local craigslist for sale, and thought some of you enthusiasts might like to see this unique car that was built.

I mentioned before when I saw the pics, engine looks like a 320 from a 124 chassis with the crossover, plug cover and airbox

I was trying to buy that car from Sean. I don't think it was a C36 in there. Look more like a 3.2L but even with all that work it was a good base car to start with. I have a 90 190e that I am modding now and the cost to do all the mods are in the 8k range without the bodywork and paint! plus I have to convert it to manual trans. That was a Manual trans Sportline car to begin with. Finding another one with black interior is not easy. Someone else bought it and I never got the engine serial number.

500E Signal Rot

With the C36 valve cover and cross over pipe, the hood won't close. To do this swap, you need to use a E320 valve cover and cross over pipe.

This only becomes obivous when you do a swap like this. A friend of mine just recently completed a conversion like this.
