OK, some will love this and others will hate it... but here is a guy in my town (Portland, OR) selling a 1970 280SE that's been retrofitted with a 300D engine! Personally, I love the 108 body and love the 300D engine but I never thought you could actually pull this off. Take a look and tell us what you think (but you purists, please keep it polite!!)
