I now know what I must do.

It started off by finding !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which is perfect in every way, but about one zero too expensive for my current situation.

But then I realized that lesser 190s were cheap and plentiful, and that there are companies who make reproduction evo 1&2 body kits. And then I also realized that if I bought a lesser one, I wouldn’t feel bad shoehorning a V8 in it. And then I found out that 1UZ swaps had been done before in them, and that there was plenty of documentation around the internet.

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, it’s as simple as that. It may not be my next car, but I’ll own a 1UZ 190 Evo in due time.

Might’ve been imported to Japan, I’ve seen that with a few older Mercs. Or maybe the seller is full of shit.

Regardless, I want it.

Mercs and other luxury cars are supposedly often purchased in Japan in LHD. They’re seen as more prestigeous/unique.

Will the 1uz fit any 190? Because I could go down that path, especially if I can find a 190 for 1 grand.

Why buy something which already has a big engine when you can just spend hundreds of hours making one fit in a car it wasn’t meant to.

And that 1UZ will sound glorious. Just throw some ITBs on it.

What about a Rover 4.6L V8 swap? It fits...

Or a modern turbo-diesel swap like MB did some years back. 369 torques and 48 MPG on the Euro test cycle.
