hi all, very new to the forums and new to the world of benz's. I'm one half of the show called mighty car mods (www.youtube.com/mightycarmods)
we're looking at doing the above engine swap and was just hoping to get an idea of how hard it is.
I've seen a few examples of similar vintage benz's getting around with 2J's and 1j's just curious to know whats involved with regards to engine mounts and fitting the transmission + other toyota parts.
I know purists may not be a fan, but we've got a lead on a good donor car and have already been to Japan to purchase our engine personally so it's been a great adventure!
any help would be great!
