Re: c280 engine swap

Even if you had a c-36, that engine will not work in your car unless you change the wiring harness, HFM module, fuel computer(if not embedded within the HFM) and possibly the fuel pump and entire exhaust. That's just off the top of my head, your bound to run into other fitment problems such as vacum connections and surrounding components. If you had a totaled C36 handy to swap with maybe it would work. As far as a c-32 goes...that's a v-6 supercharged engine, so figure on how to change the motor mounts, everything mentioned above as well as fitment problems of surrounding parts that the bigger engine will hit. I hate people who tell others with questions like yours that it can't be done...it can but you may run into a lot more work(and money) than you want to put into it.
