6.3 into 1973 450Sl

[SteveStromberg]

I was offered a 1973 450Sl with a blown motor for a song .Its a little rough but it all there and no rust. I was thinking about do a hotrod out of it. The fellow at the shop across the way has a 6.3 motor that has low miles and has been sitting in the corner of his shop for the last 20 years.I can get it from him fairly cheap. Now has anyone ever do this? I have done engine swaps before so I know it's not bolt in but will it fit and will the 450 SL Trans mate to the 6.3? Thanks in advance for any input. Steve
