I saw that link..man they ought to call you the Merc Mod Man! Got any Merc veggie oil projects?

Hi kastoo,Not at this point in the project (which is held up because another for someone else.) but fitting later engines into mercedes of this vintage is very easy because the later automatic trans are physically smaller than the original DB automatics. The biggest issue is the size of the drive shaft,ther original is small in diameter and fits through a tunnel in the floor pan,a later shaft won't fit so the trear of the tunnel needs to be swapped for a later version with a bigger tunnel . it's not difficult,just time consuming.
heres one I did last week.
