omg it's beautiful!

I've always dreamed of doing this exact swap in my 190e

Looks well done too. Are you going to make/modify your own driveline? which differential will you use? Custom mounts?

Wow, glad you decided to do this on a coupe and not your E500. Looks good man, should be faster once you get everything together.

A drive shaft will have to be made! and the diff will remain stock until it goes bad! but when it goes i will use a infiniti J30 or supra diff. believe it or not but they make a mount kit for this car with this motor! i found it on ebay! $350 shipped!
