W116s, any with a four speed manual?
Were any Euro W116s (or US) offered with a four speed manual like some W126s were?
I found a 280S I may buy, it's a '79 model and I have found a parts 280E that I can yank the motor and manual from to dump into the W116. Mainly for the fuel injection and the trans. Has anyone seen a manual W116?

Here I have seen several 280 S / SE / and SELs with manual four speed transmissions (W116s). Most with the floor shift lever and a couple with the steering column shift lever.
Also seen two manual 350s (an SE and an SEL), although they are quite unsual, as most owners with the 350s opted for the optional three-speed automatic. The 450 and the 6.9 only came with 3-speed automatics.

How out of the question is it to stick the 280E's manual in this 280S?

If many 280S/E/L were built, finding that clutch pedal shouldn't be that big of an issue I don't think. The trans is the hard part usually it seems.
Can ya elaborate with the pilot bearing issue?
