Shop that can transplant 3.6 AMG motor into w124

Anybody know of any shops in the Orange County or Los Angeles area that can transplant a C36 engine into a W124 coupe or wagon. This is beyond my mechanics capabilities. I have a donor C36 car that is complete. I believe that a wagon has been done by Neil on this forum. I have tried a few times to contact him, but have gotten no replies. Anyone else that can help? Thanks

It will be much easier if your car is a 93+

There's a guy in LA who's friend has done these conversions in 190E's, I think he goes by RAM or RAM190. When I inquired, he said he can be hired. I don't believe he's a professional shop, however. I'll PM you his email.

Sorry, I was not very clear in the description of my cars. The coupe is a 94 and the wagon is a 95.

That is good then, as the HFM is compatible and so is the wiring harness/maf etc. You should be able to swap the motor over and then swap out the ECU. I don't think most of those other items apply since since you have a 94+ model and it already has a M104 and HFM injection.

That is the simple transplant but ECU from C36 will not fit!

Well if you know someone in SoCal that can do it let me know. I'm still looking, though I have not been actively looking for awhile. I think it might be a lost cause. Thanks
