How much does it cost modify a manual old Mercedes car with a Toyota 7a engine and is it worth it.
Any leads highly appreciated.

You either buy a Mercedes or a Toyota

  1. Measures the size of the fitting space and compare with the engine

  2. Confirm the electricals well. Engine ni sensors

  3. Ecu pia ni muhimu. They work differently.

  4. What is the weight of the body of the car compared to the power of the 7a engine? Will it lag power wise?

  5. I’d rather you put a subaru engine (if it can fit)

  6. Just don’t do it. Upgrade the old benz engine to a newer one. Usiharibu benz na engine ya toyo

Maintaining a Mercedes is not a joke some of the spares you end importing them.

What’s wrong with importing?

So even if the engine is changed, the rest of the vehicle je? Nunua tu Toyota if u can’t maintain a cedo

You seems to be quite conversant in this realm, how much will it probably cost me.

:D:D:D:D:D

These custom mods are done on a car we intend to keep for a long time, sio ya kuuza kesho. And yes, it’s doable but cost depend on who’s doing it (jamaa wa engine na jamaa wa electricals/ wiring) and cost of whatever you want put in there. Kuna moja najua, a station wagon that runs n a ZZE engine.

Refer him to me. Nataka kujua the total cost and whether its worth it.

Why is it so hard for people to stick to their lanes? If you buy a mercedes, you should be ready to incur the costs that arise without complaining. I have a feeling that you hang out with the wrong social class i.e people who earn significantly more than you, so peer pressure ikafanya ununue benz to fit in. You can only pretend for so long before it catches up with you…sasa unataka kuweka engine ya toyota kwa benz:D:D:D:D:D

We fake it till we make it bro.

Fellow who did it is not domiciled anywhere in Nbi. He’s at least 2.5hrs away. The best I can come up with is some Asians who would do it pande ya Lang’ata road (said to have a problem working with Africans) and another upande wa Baricho road. Very scanty details at the moment. ignore the naysayers, do what pleases you. Hata Range huwekwa 1kZ-TE and many are none the wiser.

True,but servicewise only.
Anza kununua air shocks, na other things major
Like some sensors… But you’d be shocked that it could be more expensive to maintain a mark x compared to a c200.
