Could you install the 5-speed found in the W124s in a 560SEL?
I've really started to like the idea of a 560SEL after I saw one on Craigslist, but I'm curious if it is remotely possible to swap in a standard. Would the 5-speed offered in W124s mate up to the engine, and would it be strong enough to handle the power put out by the M117.968? Would I have trouble finding a driveshaft that I could use? What about a flywheel/clutch?
