You just want to stroke your CIS engine? You will probably spend 1500 for the crank, 800 for the rods, 200 for the bearings, 400 in seals and gaskets, you may want new pistons, etc.

Thats about 3k with tax, etc.

Last I checked, Alain wanted about that much for his C36 engine.

My friend put in a 3.2 L m104 engine into his 190E 2.6 and it wasnt too hard, just the wiring was a little tricky. I think that is what Neil was refering to.
