Default merc 500sec as a donor car?

Hi Gents,

has this been done in a Cobra replica? I have this merc parked at home gethering dust.

I have seen guys here in SA use a BMW 740 engine in the local kits, but not sure of the Merc engines.

What else could be used? G/box? diff? brakes? I have read somewhere on this forum the g/box is a bit slack when it comes to changes. Unfortunately we do not have the likes of the chev and ford V8's easily available here, were we can get them, you get ripped off!

Obviously all mounts will need to be custom, electrics will be changed for a easily programmable EFI.

Any links or help will be appreciated,

thanks!
