Nah, the S10 flywheel wouldn't work on there. totally different weight very different bolt pattern. With all the bolts the Mercedes crank takes, there wouldn't have been any flywheel left to the S10 one.

I am planning on using the S10 transmission.

In the photo two above, you can see the "adapter ring" to the right of the mercedes engine and flywheel. That is a transitional piece between the engine and transmission, which should be handy to figure out how to mount the new tranny.


Actually, you got me. I am just making this all up as I go!

I have never done anything like this before.

Built an electric car - yes, that wasn't that tough.
