i have a offer on a c32 motor with everything for a good price but don't know if i should go for it......how hard would the install be, how would the gauges work with my own car or would i have to upgrade that too and how will the tranny hold up.......would it be able to handle the c32??
that c36 motor looks beat up and got high miles.......would prob need some work done to the motor.......good find though, thanks

doing the conversion to the c36 seems kilda pointless if you look at the numbers, no?
i got a stock hp of 220 right now and to go to the stock c36 which is around 275, right?
seems pointless to do it all for only 55 hp....the c32 would be a big bump in power but how costly would it be?

yea but my only problem is at the most i could get around 370ish in hp if i'm lucky........i would want to have a decent power plant to start from and a c32 is a good start to increase numbers.......a e55 w210 would be great too but then i'd need a tranny.......so i'm not sure yet to what i'm going to do......

You should go for the C32 swap. Talk to Josh R at House of Power. He is doing something similar to a C280. He might even be able to build you a supercharger system that should give you 100hp+ gain.
Good luck and keep us posted

If you decide not to take the C32 motor, do you mind to guide me there?
I am thinking about put a C32 supercharge to my motor.
Thanks!
