As I get closer to organizing my 3.0 190E conversion, I really need some info or underhood pics of 190E-2.6s, in particular around the radiator area.
I know it's a tight fit around there, as I have today measured the 300(T)E's engine against the 190E's engine bay.
190E - distance from firewall to start of the slam panel: 820mm
300E - length of engine from block up to but not including radiator: 860mm
Is this a bit of a tight fit??
Fortunately I won't have Aircon, so don't need the extra radiator for that. Will I need a 190E 2.6 radiator, or will a 300E's radiator fit into my bay okay (with 190E 2.6 mounts)? Does my hood need to be different?
later,
Russ
P.S. 2phast if you're reading, could you email high-res versions of the pics of your underhood, or even take some of the tight-fit areas at each end/side of the engine?
