Alternate engine 300E
I have a 1986, 300E car/shell with 140,000mi. Engine siezed 3 years ago. It has been in the backyard since. A mechanic (amatuer who has worked on American cars, mostly) friend and I are going to replace the engine. Will post in the classifieds for a 300E engine. What alternate engines can be used instead of the exact same year and model with minor modifications?
Thank you. |

Any M103 engine will drop right in, they are all similar enough to fit without modifications. This means a 260e from the 190e 2.6 or a 260e. An M104 will fit, so will the new V6 and V8 engines, but all will require considerably modification.
The M103 is pretty common, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one. Peter
