manual box on M113

[nb_racing]

Hi all,

In theory, can you bolt a manual box, from say a 170 SLK320 (112 engine), onto a 113 V8?
The 112 and 113 are essentailly the same. So does anyone know for sure if the bolt pattern is the same?

Also, if a 113 from a 210 E55 was used as a donor engine in a project, can you run it on the standard ecu without the autobox interfacing with it on the CAN bus?

Cheers.

The manual 6 speed from the m112 fits the m113 perfectly, I've done it. Clutch, flywheel, crossmember ect all bolts on.

The e55 ecu does throw a wobbler without the auto gearbox though, it will start but run in limp mode.

Great info thanks!

I want to drop an m113 v8 into an ac cobra but a manual box is a must have. I'm guessing this can be done?

Did you have to bridge the inhibitor switch to start the car?

Can be done. What box do you have in mind?

Sort of, I ran new wiring down to the starter to bypass it.
