I was thinkin about an engine swap in my 88' 240DL but my friend suggested just tearing it down, rebuilding it and boring it out. what are your thoughts? I've heard a few different things about what i need after boring it out....one person said i'd jus need new pistons to fit and another said that i'd need pistons, new throttle body, and somthing else. whats the real deal. what all do i need for this job? and how much might it cost me? How much power is available through boring it out and/or jus rebuilding it? or would it make more sense to jus buy an engine and switch it? I want my baby to run as best as machanically possible. Thanks for all your help.
