Hello everyone,
I am looking at purchasing a merc 230te (1985ish) as a run about/ work horse but I don't think I can deal with having such limited power!
My current car is a bmw 635 and that has plenty!
Has anyone tried putting a 2.3-16 engine from a 190 in there? Are the gearboxes similar or am I just being silly?! (On a manual)
I look forward to your response!!
