I had a 1996 c280 drug in with a blown motor. I ordered a used engine from a local yard and all they had was a 1995. There are quite a few differences. First, the valve covers are different, the wire harnesses are different, the A/C bracket, front crank pulley and rear flywheel, the crank sensor and the water pump. All these things will have to be swapped from the original engine to the donor for it to just "bolt up". The reason is there is a producion break right there in '95.

Good luck.
