Engine swap.

Hi!

I have a '92 190D 2.5 turbodiesel 5sp manual. I want more power but don't have the $$$$.

One option for me is keep on saving money and add some performance mods here and there.

The second option is go in the junk yard and buy an m103 or m104.

If I go for the gasser they can be had for about $500 in my country. I have a very good mechanic friend who might help me swap the engine for free.

I'll install a lpg injection since lpg is about half the price of diesel (petrol is more expensive than diesel).

How difficult is the swap? Will the trany bolt on to either m103 or m104?

Thanks for the opinions!

Deni
