Default Mercedes V8 conversion

I have a line on a very clean 1991 Benz wagon. Is there any company that offers conversion parts to install a Chevy motor? Or has anyone got some experience in this? TIA.

I've seen folks drop in Mercedes V8s in Crossfires--not sure if anyone's done a Chevy V8 though. The below threads may be somewhat helpful.

There is a guy around here somewhere who dropped a bbc into an 80s era SL convertible around here. I think he fabricated everything. He replaced the entire drivetrain. Don't know if I can find him or not.

Thanks. I've been looking around and it seems like there's nothing equivalent to the JTR kits for Datsuns, Jags, etc.
