500E's
I don't have weights at hand but know that an LS1 Crate with stock ZF 6 sp was dropped in a W124 body [300E] with no change in spring rates and the balance of the car was dead on.
Only issues were with clearances of the exhaust manifolds which required a bit of custom work.
Car went from 177hp to a bit over 340 and gas mileage on the highway went from 23 to 33 @ 75mhp cruise. [ZF has a .50 overdrive for 6th]
