Hello out there in R107 land! Anyone out there ever swap in a manual tranny? I found a 79 (euro?) 350SE with the 3.5 liter V8 and a four speed manual. Does the 3.5L have the same bellhousing pattern as the 4.5L? Would it be worth it to use a 3.5 especially if it was the higher compression euro? Has anyone done a manual swap with a different trans? I have done auto to manual swaps in other cars before so the basics don't worry me. Just wondering what to start with and if anyone on here has done this. The car is a 78 450SL.

Thanks, Andy.
