chevy 350 into 95 s500?

is it possible to swap a carbeurated chevy 350 with a 5 speed standard trans into a 95 S500 looking to do this conversion soon wondering how easy it will be the car has a stock 5.0 litre mercedes V8 and removing the engine wiring harness does not affect the non engine electrics of the car hoping to build a dead simple carb'd car out of this car the stock engines wiring harness's on these are notoriously terrible and cost an arm and a leg to replace mine is already toast and just wondering how easy it would be to swap a 350 into it and bypass all the engine electrics, theres tons of room in the engine bay so i would imagine it would fit easily. what are the potential difficulties with this swap and what is it gonna take to make it work any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
