bj:

1) Here is information that was supplied to you in your original thread:
"If you consider exchanging the engine, a 4.2L (420 SEL) engine will use your existing exhaust system. A 5.0L engine will require an exhaust system from either a 500SL or a 560SL; the bolt patterns on the heads are different, and the block height & width is greater."
Use of a 420 engine will minimize your expense.

2) The more threads that you start, the less coherent the aggregate information in the replies. Simply continue with your original thread.
