i dont know from experience

but both were offered in the 190. i would start with an engine that is as close to the same year as your car and try to find a suitable donor car with other issues such as cosmetics or body damage and then just switch all over that is different which might include rad engine tranny speedo ds and diff.

this way you will have all the parts at hand that are different and you can test drive it to be satisfied that the drivetrain is sound.

good luck
