About the only way you could do it was if you had a complete 450SL for parts.

Your real cheapest real options are buying a running 126 of the following models with a good running V8. 380, 420, (500) rare or 560. The 380 would be the simplest, but the least desireable, due to the single row chain. The others are at least the same tech level and share common CIS fuel injection systems.
