I have a 1983 Mercedes Benz 240d and it has a bad motor ( I bought this car off my dad who used engine parts for his 240d). I want to know how to convert this old Benz to fit a small block chevy. I know I will have to change the motor mounts and transmission, I also know i need to get a custom cut Driveshaft. I dont know if the stock rear end will hold the torq of the 267 or 350 i have( dont know which it is yet ) the stock engine has 67 Hp and approx 120 ft pounds of torq, I am hoping to push 350 hp with the v8, will this stock rear end hold? I do not know if need to change the rear end with a stock chevy such as 3.73 or 4.10 I want to retain my stock rear suspension, Is this possible?
