Ok I might be totally off my rocker here but what would I be getting into in transplanting a drivetrain from a 01-02 CLK55 into an older MB? Say something like a 126/124 or even older, maybe 108/109?

The body guy here at work and I are kicking around some ideas since we got offered the CLK for under 7K. hit pretty bad, too far gone to fix.

If we can- I'd like to hear some serious thoughts from you guys.

Has this ever been done before like you see with VW's?
