Nick, did you even read any of your links?
The one at the bottom talks about a '78 sl with a 396 chebby in it. It took a professional shop "ten months to complete, working 40 to 50 hours a week". the cost was $45,000. This proves my point a thousand times over. Tom W

There was a second article detailing the work to install a small block ford (which should be easier than a chebby since it is narrower and the distributor is on the front of the motor). That fellow has taken two years on it!

I know a guy who restored a 71 Monte Carlo and tubbed it like that and put in a stock big block Chevy and it still cost him 70k to build. If you have a stock, spare chevy engine/trans and only need to fabricate exhaust, mounts, and driveshaft, for the Mercedes you could do it over a weekend, for less than $2000.00 and drive it to work every day of the week.

People also implant V8 engines from Sherman tanks and 12 cylinder PT boat engines into all sorts of vehicles. What's the big deal? Eventually it just gets silly.

I'm shure there were a few but I read about this one I belive in Popular Mechanics. Most likely some time in the 70's.
But Jay would buy it. That gives me an Idea. Merlin 107 ???? John Roncallo |

Jay built a Rolls with an aircraft engine of something like 27 liters displacement. There was an article in Road and Track about five years ago I estimate. It looked pretty cool. IIRC it had a polished aluminum body....kindof a t rex version of the lotus seven!
