M103 into a W124?

[W124barr]

Hi Guys.

I have recently purchased a e220 w124 and have started making it my project car, the car itself was in a bad way, although it ran well it had been badly welded and the engine harness badly repaired, after some consideration and the loom been in such bad state of repair its basically scrap.

Now this may sound a bit backward to some however I wondered if anyone had any info on swapping the engine for the 3l m103 engine.

My reason being i have access to an engine, and the simplicity of the wiring with it been mechanical fuel injection.

Now the car is more of a summer car and not a daily drive, it will be used very little is more of a toy.

If anyone has any positive advice that would be great I know the 6 cylinder 104 conversion may seem more sense but the cost is a concern and wiring etc, thanks Guys
