Mark220se

Hello to all the classic Mercedes Benz fans out there. I'm new to this forum and this is the first time I have ever actually used a forum. I've been an absolute lover of vintage Mercedes Benz cars for a long time, but none more so than the Heckflosse. Also am a huge fan of the V8 engine. So I'm just wondering, I have a 283 small block Chev, does anyone know if it would fit in a 220se? And if it does, what manual transmission would be the best to fit and put behind it? If anyone would be able to anwser this for me I greatly appreciate your help! Thank you all!
