Hi Pete,

From what I have "heard", from more than one sorce, the M104 3.2 block with the 350SDL 0M603 crank and M104 2.8 rods was used to make the AMG 3.6L M104. I have not personally performed the calculations to confirm this, but it sounds about right. The 3.0 M103 has a bore of 89.0MM and a stroke of 80.25MM. The M104 3.2 is 89.9 X 84.0 and the M104 3.6 is 91.0 X 92.4. This means that the 3.6L displacement is an enlargement of both bore and stroke. According to Ortolan, the 3.0 M103 will make 3.4L with C36 parts using stock (I think) pistons. Do the math and that should come out right. As for the crank, I don't know but it may need some alterations on a crank lathe in order to fit an M103/104. I suggest you contact Ortolan and ask him for the measurements of his C36 crank and rods to make sure.
