4BT questions

OK guys....I reciently picked up a new used car. It's a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 260E. It has 190,000 miles on it. It has an I6 gasser in it. I was thinking the other day....If a guy can put a twin turbo'ed 4bt in a Jeep Wrangler....Why couldn't I (down the road a bit) put a 4bt in this Benz? Where would I find a 4bt? What size are the twins for a 4bt? What trans do guys use on a 4bt?

Thanx
Josh
