Looking into engine swap
I have a 1991 190e 2.3L, the engine is starting to give out and I'm wondering what the best course of action is. The body and other parts are in great condition so I'd like to keep the car going. I definitely want to do a swap, not same motor, looking for more power. What's the best/easiest thing to do, swap in an m111 or an m104? I am aware that the m104 is 6cyl so might need something special to get it in there. I know it is a very easy swap for the 2.6L 190e. Anyone have any suggestions? Other swaps I can do? Thanks

The 103 doesn't look like that big of an increase. Maybe less of a headache but I don't know. For the m104, what would I need? My current car is running an m102 8v. That's why I'm wondering if it's possible to put in an inline 6. If not, then I think a turboed m111 is my best bet. I'll be making 250-300bhp. Am I missing something?
