I have done a search on www.cars.com for all mercedes wagons. There were over 500 cars, and the only v8 wagons were the new ones at 40-50k. New one is not an option. My wife will freak if I tell here I am buying a Z06 and a new mercedes.
If I can get a front clip for E420 or a 500E, shouldn't the parts swap out? Trans, engine, ecu's, wiring, fuel pump or regulator, etc?
The big thing I am worried about is the structure of the front end. Did the shock towers sheetmetal change location(ie wider to take a wider v8 motor)? Is the engine cradle different, or just the motor mounts? Is the trans externally the same size or does the trans tunnel have to be hammered out or cut out and custom welded?
thanks
