RB25DET/2JZ into a 02' Mercedes W203 body?

[LMnsr]

Hello all,

I was hoping you guys could help me out.
I have a Nissan Skyline Gtst, but i also have a mercedes w203 c180 (which is not running and i have no use for it)
I was thinking about maybe fitting a RB25DET or 2JZ in the mercedes.

would this be worth it?
And is it possible to fit the engine with a manual gearbox in that car?

Thanks,

There's a W202 with a RB25DET and manual box on this forum, and lots with 2JZ etc around the world, so it can deffo be done to a W203 too as it's not that different.

stav guess what?,, merc man was asking me if I wanted to build him an estate version
personally id go for the 1j. the 25 has the inlet/exhaust/clutch slave on the wrong side meaning you have to make a whole new exhaust tunnel and other crap.plus the shifter is pretty forward and near the dash

Thanks, do you have an idea of all the modifications i will have to make to the actual car? I'm hoping its not too much that i can try to do this project myself. I'm thinking that body with some coilovers and some suspension parts would make a great drift car.
Correct me if im wrong
