We need some kind of Forum or Group page for this exact swap. I’ve searched desperately and everyone points you in different directions. It’s been very difficult especially in the US. Very encouraging to see this video and many comments about success stories on the swap. About to start my swap and can use some help. Just sent an email!! THANKS!!!

Did this swap myself as well 2 years ago. Totally transforms the car without overwhelming the chassis. Thanks for sharing!

@@thebenzhouse it was great when it was still running. Unfortunately it got a little too hot because of a mistake I made with the coolant plumbing. I will resolve that soon though. Would be great if we could see what the coolant hoses in this car look like as well.

I have an 89’ W201 2.6 L that I’ve been wanting to freshen up. Either a turbo kit with an original five speed swap, or some thing more modern with a six speed… Maybe even an LS. That M103 straight six has perfect compression and runs very smooth. Anything you would have done different? Thanks.👍

@hanenkamm1979 the M104 will fit nicely in your chassis and is know to make good power once you turbo them. I wouldn't go the LS route as there would be way too much to change and adapt. I personally like the feel of the supercharged 4 cylinder in the 190E. Car maintains its balance while being a little bit more fun to drive.

Great resource, currently in the thick of this exact swap. Appreciate the info on the rad you provided Ron 🤙🏼⚡️

For sure it's a great swap I personally like the m103 but if you go with a swap the m111 is the best for sure

@@thebenzhouse yea M103 is a great value too, I bought my 190e shell for $450 with no motor/trans and a C203 Kompressor with a six speed as the donor for $800 so it kind of just aligned to make it happen haha. Going for the best daily/fun Benz on a budget I can get. 😂🤙🏼
