Modification w460

[pappis]

Hi.
I am currently working on modifying my w460 g-class from a om617a (turbo) to om602.982 (from an e-class), and since the starters are on different sides i am going to need a new gearbox.
I currently have a 5speed manual gear box and would like to fit a 5 or 6 speed manual with the new engine.

Does anyone have a clue what gearbox might handle the torque?

have asked the question from someone doing one of these at the moment for you

Asked the question - and the initial advice is to stick with the 617a with bigger pump elements, bigger injectors and an intercooler as it may well output the same with far less grief.
Whereabouts are you?
