I don't know of anyone that makes a kit or mounts for this swap -- you'll likely have to drop the motor into place and fabricate from there. The big question on many of these Merc swaps is likely to be -- what to do about that pesky/big recirculating ball steering box/linkage which always seems to be in the way when people go to swap an LS into a Mercedes.

I have a non completed swap but the mock up engine and trans are in there:
1. I don't see how you can get a driver's side manifold to dump to the rear due to the steering recirc ball. You have to use a passenger side flipped on the driver's side so you might as well run a turbo!
2. Need to use a GTO oil pan and modify it.
3. Mounts are the "hot rod" style mounts or corvette style mounts.
4. 4l60e hits the inside "frame" rail around the servo area, so you will have to cut a chunk out and weld in steel plate.
Hope this helps.

This is the style I meant by corvette or hot rod:

They are the fluid filled motor mounts. But there are poly style also. The existing merc pads may work.
You will have to modify those DD mounts also or make your own.
