Do it, at least you won't be wasting a good FD like most the idiots out there.

You can swap anything into anything. But if you don't have a shop and cash then good luck.

Enjoy spending $20k to get it even close to right.,

Drop the OM606 diesel in it with the usual bolt-ons. It looks, sounds and smells an old diesel Merc, but it goes like something else

A 1uz swap would be a better choice as its more documented and can be done a lot cheaper.

If you want a bit more power with little effort swap a 300e 3L in there. Basically no work required and its a decent jump in power.

If you need to ask, it means you don't know how to do it.

So the answer is no, its not possible.

Get the front clip off a 6 cylinder car and go m104

Yes, I plan on doing just that btw after this volvo ls swap is done

Best option is swap the engine from E320, 3200cc 220hp I6 24v, rock solid, easy swap, specially if you part from a 6 pot 190.

Source: I have a 190e 2.6, planning to do exactly this.

Why would you even swap that huge heavy and weak piece of shit into anything lmao what the fuck are you smoking.
Lay off the anime weaboo, japs can't into V8.
That swap makes literally no sense when LS engines exist.

Who wants reliability and an engine that can withstand huge boost on stock internals.
Not you, thats who.

I believe it can be done, but you might have to convert the steering to a rack-and-pinion system.

I swapped an RB20DET into a 190E, and there's barely enough room for a 2.5" downpipe due to the steering box. I also had to modify the lower gearbox support braces to make room for the steering linkage.

I'd suggest starting from the 2.6 instead of the weaker models, it already has a larger W124 diff, better brakes and stabilizers, and more room in the engine bay.

Well, if you're gonna have the UZ, you have to have the LS anyway, so why not just go with the LS and save yourself the trouble??

5.3 is literally THE V8 to boost, slap on eBay turbo and bam 600hp no problem on stock internals not even changing the cam or valve springs.
All fur dirt cheap with a massive aftermarket.
Good luck changing the cam on your 1uz lol
Good luck doing anything to a 1uz 2bh

Im not from America so there is pretty much no aftermarket and only crap box ls1s from commys around and even then still expensive for what they are.
1uzs on the other hand are a lot more common as there is a ton of jap imports and jap engine sellers around

>>15891861
I wouldnt mind LS swapping something with an unreliable engine
Say like an old lancia or alfa romeo but space is the limiting factor

>more documented and cheaper than literally the most done engine swap in the entire fucking world
What the fuck are you smoking

i'm an LS400 driver/1uz owner and even i think the 1uz guy in this thread is retarded
