Hi,
I know i am not the only one asking.
what needs to be done to swap a m104.99x into a w201 2.6

how does it differ from this m104.98x swap?
M104.98x Motor Swap in a 190E - Star Wiki

I want to know how the wiring and installation differs if anyone has experience in this id love to get some information about the swap.

my plan is to get a donor car to do this. what cars models would be best to pull the engine from where i might find some other things to throw in the 190e?
i heard the sl models have better brakes?

Cheers

I'm no expert in the swapping subject, not even close, but intuitively the M104.98 should be a relatively easy swap for an experienced person since you are bringing all the fuel delivery systems with it.
M104.99 is a different injection system and is a larger engine, so infinitely more difficult.

But again, I do not know about swaps much.

As for me the M103-2.6 is just fine with a manual transmission on the W201 chassis.

- Cheers!
