I found a low mileage M112 engine from a crashed CLS with an auto box attached - £2K was too steep, particularly as our Crossfire (mostly the wife's) is likely to remain stock. With a free hand and time I would love to strip all the extras off, fit throttle bodies on the top (don't know if there is clearance) and run a manual box, in a stripped out Crossfire.
Attached is a picture of some bike bodies someone is attaching to a Mazda/Ford 1.8L V6 - no not what I would want to see in a Crossfire engine bay but you get the idea.
This is something I have been looking at for over a year but it will have to wait until I have got my other project back on the road as a daily driver to free up the Crossfire and gararge space. I have CADed up manifolds for some stubbie Jenveys (there is just enough height) and plan on junking the trick plenum arrangement. I'll probably start it next spring. The bike throttle bodies (Triumph triples are readily available apparently) and Megasquirt setup is starting to get quite popular these days; I know of several early 911's running it successfully.
