I found pictures on this one on a Japanese site. It looks like it has 20" ? Wheels maybe.....and it's on air.
Another Mercedes 380SL Restomod.

I tried to install the LS on the C4 crossmember and found out that my 5th generation camaro oil pan is the wrong choice. It hits up front and hangs below the crossmember.
I picked up a Holley 302-2 oil pan as a plan C. I also decided to change motor mounts so that i can easily find replacement parts in the future. I'm going to stock corvette mounts and ls swap adapters.

I've had some downtime recovering from sanding a chunk of hide from a couple of fingers with an abrasive paint stripping disc. Almost good enough to get back to it.
I just wanted to show the 1952 Mercedes steering wheel and column that I'm thinking of using.

Holley oil pan installed along with C4 SBC motor mounts via adapter plates. Clearance is going to be great. Sump will be flush with the bottom of the front crossmember. But I'm going to have to cut the s*** out of the car to pull this off....the firewall needs to go back 10 inches. ....along with the seats, pedals, and steering column.
Back of the engine will be about where the wipers are now. Corvette accessory brackets would gain 1.5" of clearance...not sure it matters.
