Thanks Tony. Do you know if tunnel or firewall modifications were required? It seems there was a lot that changed during the 280 run that I am concerned may have been to accommodate a 3.5. Maybe it was just for the 3.5 automatic. I don't know. My hope is to put the drive train from a 350sl 4-speed manual into an early w111 stick shift coupe. Do you think there are any major challenges? I think I may have access to w108 4.5 motor mount arms and a 4.5 two piece oil pan (to make it look more authentic if not required to fit).

I think you know Jason Birch aka @rwd4evr rwd4evr. We kind of co-own a 73 280sel 4.5 parts car.
