AMG Motor Swap

[19666falcon]

I recently purchases a C36 motor from a totaled car and have plans of installing it in my car here real soon. It's a M104 engine just like mine and used the same transmission as mine did, so there shouldn't be too many issues :uhoh:. The engine came with a 6 month warranty so I shouldn't have to worry too much about it not working. Anyways...onto the pics. Sorry for the Iphone pics, took real pics and I'll upload them soon.

all bundled up :drool:

:thumbu: kick ass

seeing the picture of the car with the empty engine bay made me think of how high the front of the car is.... then i thought of my 126, with its truck springs.

looks like a kool swap!!!

[19666falcon]

the next step was to swap everything from the 3.2 to the 3.6 since the engine didn't come with anything. Took a two days work since we had to order some of the gaskets that were bad.

the tubing/etc. leading up to the Air pump was different and wouldn't fit on our old Air Pump, so we had to switch it out with our old one

C36 one:

we also had to replace the bracket that held the power steering because they were different

for some reason this pic came out upside down :roll: I guess I was holding it upside down? IDK, but it's basically a picture showing everything from the 3.2 on the 3.6, including the transmission :D. One last thing we needed to replace was the top cover on top of the thermostat housing, so we decided to replace the thermostat

so close I can taste it :drive:

[19666falcon]

It's like a 70hp/tq diff from the stock 3.2 and the power band/tq curve is waaaaaay better lol.

Boost it and rock some BMW shits :shifty: :lol:
I mean I do already have the mani and turbo for it :O

[Derweissehai]

Looks like you got a great project going on. Can't wait to see the final result.
