No it wont fit, thou a V12 is supposed to be more narrow than the v8, but it is way longer, even in the w124 its a tight fit and only after modding the fire wall.
here is one into an sl 107
And the weight will be an issue for the already light rear w202. :P

you are better off just getting a better car or putting in an SC. It just doesn't make financial sense. If you want more NA power just put on a stage 4 setup (headers, pulley, high flow cats, software) and be done with it, anything more just isn't worth it money wise.

I don't think the intent was the best bang for the buck, I think it was to do something different. If we all wanted the fastest car for the money, I don't think any of us would drive W202's. With enough money and time, I'm sure it could be done. And seriously AMS, is it possible for you to post something without it being an advertisement for your parts?

Guys to have a V12 m120 fit in the nose of a W202 will take more than just some body work, i realy doubt the front chassis members can even take the weight. and true that the w202 can take an I6, but we all know its a tight fit, just look at any C36 and try to see it with 2 enginges!
if any wants somethin like that u can always find a cheap W124 and fit the M120 in it. i was really close to starting this project M120 W124, but the CL600 i was going to buy was sold.
Thank god it was, for the task would have run me $$$$$ :P

MB’s of all kinds.
I have never heard or seen such a thing. I am sure someone has done it before. I dont think it is worth the time to stick a V12 into a older inexpensive MB. All that work and $ why not just buy a V12 Benz? Either way you will not escape the maintaining of the V12.
