hi all
i'm french and i have for project to swap E190 with M104 engine 32v 3.6
I have see that i'ts possible to build 3.6 with 2.8 M104 or buy C36 engine directly.

I have find in france M104 3.6 engine but lot of KM and need rebuild. i have search but not found new piston and other parts for rebuild this engine. have you solution?
IF i Build my M104 3.6 with old 2.8 it's possible to have what power ?

If i buy C36 engine i can fit directly on my gearbox manual 2.6? what flywheel and clutch ?

For the wiring with oem c36 Ecu it's difficult?
How remove the immobilizer?
Go with itb bmw and aftermarket Ecu are best way?

Sorry for all my question
 
DEPENDING on the original engine block the 3.6 was based on if its badly worn it may not be possible to bore it out further. If it's extra capacity has been derived from stroking the engine with the diesel crank then that's possibly different.
 
It is not cost effective to rebuild the 3.6, parts are ridiculously expensive for it.

Certain engine ECU's from a early 96 C36 can be used, anything else cannot be used.

Your existing gearbox/flywheel ect can be used, but you will need to modify the flywheel to accept a cps magnet.

If you want ITB's you need a full standalone ecu and harness, the setup from the s38 engine can be adapted but there are better ways of doing it.
