1994 c280, motor swap?

I found a 1994 c280 with a bad piston. I have not found any C280 motors, only c43, c220, and c230K. Is a swap possible or too much hassle?

Just an idea... You might want to chack ebay for a motor. They are on there very regularly.

The 3.2 M104 engine will bolt right-up but any of those lidsted would require a complete car to get MANY other needed parts including computers & wiring!

Not as long as the motor is from a 1993-96 car!
