W210 E320 Manual Swap
Hey everyone! I have a 2001 E320 v6 that i was looking into doing a manual swap. I've heard that its capable using the r170 slk250 6 speed, but still curious on if anyone else has done it or has the know how on the subject. is there any way to have it all bolt together no fab? (besides the driveshaft). Let me know what you got, thanks!

Everything can be done when money and time are no object.
I think you are overlooking computers swap as well.
When mechanical part might be easy, even if you have to fabricate adapter plate - not too may people around the World figure out how to reprogram MB computers.
Ask Plutoe - he is trying to play computer guru here, so that might be run for his money.

I would check the credibility of that post,,,,,,,"This guy made his computer think his ecu was always in park so it would start and drive"---what HS and if you believe that ,I would suggest you spend time changing your tires into triangular ones.

A guy by me was building a W124 with an M113 engine and a manual trans out of a Crossfire. I have no idea if he ever completed the project. I drive past his house all the time and have never seen the car outside if he did. It's been 6+ years too since I talked to him about it.

Is that all computer knowledge you have?
Forget about my recommendations in the future

No. Just the fact that you asked that means that you'd be in way over your head for a swap like this.
