m104 3.2+dogleg+lsd questions - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum

So I don't think the 190 is leaving me after all.

I've decided to make some use of my license suspension. A family friend has offered me a e320 motor for a steal, and I'd like to pair it up with a 16v rear diff and the dogleg transmission. I got a few questions though.

First of all, if I'm not able to sourse the transmission right away, would my 5-speed that's in my 2.6 bolt up and function with the m104?

Has anybody been successful in making a write-up of any kind in the m104 swap?

Does anybody have 16v differential or the dogleg transmission they're trying to sell?

Any tips and advices are greatly appreciated.

im getting an LSD to put a m104 in you neeed to do a bunch of wiring and it would be good to have all wiring and ecus and all.. whats going on with the 140?

That's no problem, the donor car is a e320 with everything in it mechanically, except the starter. The 140 is still there. Come down sometime and take a look at it if you'd like.

so atleast our car isn't impounded, but how did you get your lincense suspended? i didn't think your car was high enough to race

oh yeah that guy in king of prussia still has a good lsd available and transmission parts, IE clutch, shifter rods etc. give him a call and see what he can do for you. i already got the tranny from him

I've seen that guy's ad on craigslist a looong time ago, but never bothered to even e-mail :[
Now I have to source everything.

Nobody has answered one of my questions yet...will my transmission bolt up to the m104?
