A friend of mine has a '79 450SLC, this car needs cosmetic work in and out but the engine and transmision are in good condition considering the 150k+ miles on them, from there I thought the conversion.

I considered the 380 and 500 engines also but they are in newer models so I thought that the 450 from the 70's should be better choice and I have the advantage of getting the 450 car for cheap.

The doubts where if it fits or not, but after your advise I should begin with the measuring.
