I love my 1988 300ce. I love my c124 so much that Im willing to part a c36 Ive bought to make my 300ce a 300ce 3.6 . :0
The major troubling differences in the setup from my "extensive" knowledge.
Wiring- a e320 harness would be nice should plug right into the motor and c36 ecu. C36 ecu has traction controll which I dont want. will I need to obtain a e320 ecu and have it optimized for a c36?
I know that the throttle body will need to be replaced with a non ASR but how will the c36 ecu react to it and the different abs module with different diff ABS differential?
Transmission- My 300ce is already 5spd manual from a 86 should be no problems there as the 96 c36 has old style transmission and Im sure the Ecu from c36 wont mind that.
Reasons- I bought a 1986 300e with 54K and a blown motor I want to put my 300ce motor in it. the 1996 c36 has 203K is worth little money. exhaust and bumpers will bring more profit then painting the car and restoring it. I removed the amg wheels and restored them already for an install on wifes E420 hope the rears fit I dont feel like stretching the rear fenders.
available parts in stock- m104 3.2 motor with a blown head and ASR, c36 car, 1990 300ce rear diffl, 1994 e320 rear diff with ASR, m104 from 1990 300ce,
Thoughts- I figured all the bits from a w124 m104 3.2 things like alternator, power steering pump, tencioner and vacum pump I would use on the c36 motor. clean the 3.6 do preventative maintenance.
Worries - How well a 94 e320 harness will fit my 88 300ce? Is there a way the c36 ecu can work with old abs module from 88 and a non asr throttle body?
Im sure this will get some heads scratching.
