Thanks for the photo. However, it would be nice to see a photo of a RUNNING, DRIVING car. Bolting a bare block into a gutted shell is not quite what I'd consider a successful conversion... but at least you know someone has at least tried it before.

Like I said...there aren't many hold ups for me, in terms of wiring, plumbing.

I'm ASSUMING that if I swap the M119, with it's w124 transmission, it'll come in pretty close, and maybe bolt in, at the trans mount, without modificaiton.

The rest is up to making the M119 bolt on the subframe mounts, and have sufficient oil pan clearance & steering box clearance.

Custom radiators, and plumbing are no big deal.

So for sake of the picture's power, to me, it represents all I'm currently fixated on, which is clearance and mounting of the m119...that said, who knows if that thing has working steering or not.
