I'm not sure. On germanstar the engine #s are different for the 84 190E and the 85 190E. Who knows if that means the engines are different. You may want to email the guy up at germanstar.

No, no the 1984 is different. It is a 102.961 not a 102.985. The 84 is obvioulsy the first production year and is driven w/ v-belts. The 85-93 190 2.3 is a serpentine belt. While a lot of the parts are the same, it is more of a headache than anything. If you have to a drop in motor for that car is applicable from 1985-1986 ONLY. You can swap a later 90's 2.3 engine into it, but you have to change a few things. You would need to swap the intake manifolds/fuel system, exhaust manifolds and ignition distributor. Good luck

Thanks guys. I will skip on that engine and just re-build the one I have.
