Yesterday, I ordered a Mercedes clutch cover plate. Mercedes parts are expensive, so I am glad it's only the one part I need!
Once that shows up, I can put together the Mercedes engine, Mercedes manual tranny flywheel, custom clutch, and Mercedes cover plate to see how it matches up to the Chevy transmission.
Then I can take measurements and see what will be needed for an adapter plate to mount the engine to the transmission.
(PS - the 240D itself got hauled off to the scrap yard a few weeks ago.)

Ben,
I was in the garage the other day, and realized that I was going to take measurements to put the S10 transmission against the Merc's motor... then I realized that it had been a long time since I was supposed to do that. Then I realized that I no longer have the S10's transmission. Sorry, dropped the ball on that one.
Guess counting on me for anything probably isn't such a good idea...
