Engine Transplant options for W124 230E ?

If I'm looking for a slightly more powerful and much smoother engine, what are the available options available for a W124 230E (M102.982 engine, 2.3l 4 cylinder)? Can a 3L twin-cam 24valve engine be transplanted without too much of a hassle? What is involved in a transplant like this? Do I need to swap the stock auto gearbox as well?

Thanks!

IIRC, the 124 chassis used two different transmissions. The 300E's and everything above (E320, E420, 400E, 500E, etc) used the larger transmission built for the V8. The 260E and all of the smaller variants that never saw the US had the smaller tranny built for the 4 cylinder and small six. That doesn't mean you can't put a V8 or 3.2L M104 in your car, you just might also need to upgrade the transmission. I doubt if the differentials were different.

I'm sure I'll be calibrated if my memory isn't serving me well.

Would you have to change the engine mounts for that?
