The only issue remaining is that I don't know where the bellhousing came from.

Yes, but picture my 88 560 SEC, AMG, Euro (A rocket as it stands with an automatic in it) with a 5 speed in it, or even better, a T-56, Six speed in it...WOW..
Now that would make it a possibly faster, and definately a whole lot more fun to drive car.
Do you think there's a Mercedes stick shift tranny, that could handle the torque, and horses of the 6.0 litre V-8..?
