So he sent the convertible to Robert Rubio and his team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sidewaysperformance\/\">Sideways Performance<\/a> for a powertrain upgrade. There they replaced the Mercedes engine and transmission with a turbocharged 2.5 L 1JZ-GTE VVTi inline-six and Toyota automatic transmission. The stock 1JZ-GTE sits on modified 450SL motor mounts and runs off a factory Toyota ECU and 450SL fuel pump. A custom driveshaft sends power to the factory 450SL rear end. Cam&#8217;s future plans call for switching the factory gauges to digital.<\/p>\n<p><a
