Ok guys, my 89 300e is about to be replaced by my 95 e300 diesel wagon as the daily driver. The m103 burns a little oil and is generaly tired after 4 years of hard thrashing everywhere, so I'm going to drop in the engine and gearbox from a scrap 560 sel. I allready have the m117 engine, gearbox and loom from a donner car, and despite everybody saying I'm mad, it's going in there one way or another! Only problem I can see is that the 300e's speedo is driven by cable and the v8's gearbox has an electric speed sensor insted, the tail housing's look the same on both gearbox's so I'm wondering if I can swap the 300's tail housing onto the m117's gearbox? Anybody done this? Is it even possible?
