Yes you can but really only the differential is different.

Why would you want to swap them?

That's true, adding a V8 to a 6cyl car, like an LS GM engine?

I think the 500e uses a mix of s class parts and normal 124 ones, and sls.


Welcome to a world of pain, the driveline is a ***** to strengthen.


There is talk of upgrades using Chrysler parts, check out the thread on hear

Start by fitting stiffer bushes, most of my breakages were exaggerated by sloppy bushings in sub frame and rear linkages.

Stiff engine and gearbox mounts help a lot as well

"some mods improve your car and make it into something it never was, other mods, however, although essentially the same, are not, and make that car a ricer"

if your car isnt shiny, you dont know what you are talking about, remember; paint shine = knowledge. In order to be taken seriously, you should spend all your money on paint, (and get a dyno reading).
Dont forget to polish it often
