What we did do was take a damaged 190SL..drop in the Buick all aluminum V-8..then the lightest V-8 in the wold..but we had to modify the nose to get it in..the MB clutch and shaft couldn’t handle it..had to go for a Hurst shifter and linkage...you could sit there and burn rubber in all four gears while standing still.
