Help with parts (will this engine fit?)

[Jacle]

Hi im thinking of getting a type 65 coupe but i dont know if the engine i want will fit and what transmission i need.
The engine i was going to use was the SL500/S420 (119) `96-`99 Long Block witch is a mercedes benz engine. Also where can i get a custom dashboard for the coupe

Thanks

I've copied your topic into the "Ask a Factory Five Tech" section. Hopefully you will get an answer to your question.

Hi jacle we have not been asked that question before ,and we don't know anyone who has done it so you prob need to take some numbers down on the size of the motor and tranny,and i'm sure the mounts will need to be fabed up..
