I'm actually contemplating installing a non-MB engine/tranny combo. It's a matter of availability. It'll be an all mechanical deal... zero computers. The engine will be a completely independent system. Just need to be able to start it and have all the accessories to work. Been hit by two floods already... hating it. I'm in survival mode and I just need the car to function.
