Sorry should read 1991.
The motor needs to run in another vehicle in other words...and I need to know what needs to be taken out of the 124 shell to do that, but the absolute minimum.
Running a M103 out of the car....
I am building the complete drivetrain of a 2001 300e into a streetrod. :surrender: Don't shoot me...lol
To start off, I bought a rusted but running car, so have all the relevant bits to make it run.
Then we built it into the body, but from the start knew that the injection would not fit in the engine bay, so we will have to make an intake manifold and run it off Weber sidies. That is not the problem......yet.
What I do need help with is figuring out what is the minimum bits required to make the old girl fire.........i.e the least amount of electronics to be bolted back on / connected to get spark....nothing on the injection side needs to work.. and using as much of what I have???

The whole fuel injection system sticks out quite a bit past the side of the engine. With shorter runners and 3 sidies it can just be made to fit. It would look a whole lot better too.....
Not forum friendly, but if/when we get it done I will post up pictures.

I don't want to cut the car too much the reason the engine has to fit in the old space left by the 4 banger. Also it needs to look somewhat cool....so shiny carbs and dumping all the pipes and wires from the FI......this where it went in (need to upload the pics of it fitted still, but it is in already).
