The 104 is one sweet engine. What is the total weight of the car going to be and do you have any idea how much extra weight is on the front end now ? Did you change front springs ? Thanks.

I'm using a 3.27 lsd rear diff... i thought the E320's had 2.37 or something really low?


Thanks for the tip.... the strut bar and Camber plates were made by MRP (Danny) he no longer makes parts though



the car was about 2880 lbs stock... i don't know now, i will find out though... not sure if there's a whole lot more weight on the front (it didn't lower it much if anymore) i'm using FK lowering springs for the 2.6 with bilstein sport struts/shocks

That's really cool where you fitted the air filter. How hard is it to change?

Nice work! Very clean!
What car(s) had a 3.27 LSD? Is it the stock rear for your car?
What RPM are you turning at highway speeds?
Thanks! Brian

Also, what clutch ?

Any updates? What manual trans and header are you planning on using. Any video of the car. This is a really cool swap. I'd love to see more.
