How much does a M103 wiegh compared to a 400 pound LS-1 chevy motor?
Odd question but just wait a few months and youll like the result.

Go look in the 190 forum, a guy is putting a LS-? in a w201 chassis.

I don't have weights at hand but know that an LS1 Crate with stock ZF 6 sp was dropped in a W124 body [300E] with no change in spring rates and the balance of the car was dead on.

Only issues were with clearances of the exhaust manifolds which required a bit of custom work.

Car went from 177hp to a bit over 340 and gas mileage on the highway went from 23 to 33 @ 75mhp cruise. [ZF has a .50 overdrive for 6th]

Well, that sounds like fun! Does the engine management system match up? Like, is this a put in and go type deal (if such a thing exists at all?)

is closer to 500 lbs,so the alum L6 is probably less.
he has to use the gm harness and modified plug and play aftermarket ecu set up,and no it will definitely not be a plug and play swap.
