maybe a bit off topic...and now i am told the mercedes 3.8 / 8 cyl will fit inside the eng compartment with no problem and the tranny will mesh up to the flywheel... with no problem... anyone heard of this?

a friend who is a top fuel dragster... who runs with $55,000 engines sized it up for me...

he is willing to help me drop it in... if i buy the engine.... hmmm this would definitely terminate my extended warrantee...
