Chorny just pulling your leg. I think to start you will need to measure out the engine compartment and the engine itself to see if your going to need to do some cutting. I think also your going to have to beef the front end suspension due to the weight of that big block. It also might be to tall for the hood to close. My biggest fear is it's too long to fit in without cutting back the firewall which adds a whole can of worms. It might be easier to find a mercedes high performance engine to fit in there or to hotrod the motor in there right now.

Thank you very much Stovens, I think I may have to scrap the idea at 64 it might be a little late to try this. Have had this car since 73, is my wifes car.
I just hate the motor. I like the body they made it for 16 years. Mercedes motors are way to much money. I have had a 300C since 05 and like the torque. Soon as it warms up I have to take a lot of measurements.

Thanks
