[W126 Coupe] Benzfest/Coupefest

[Shayegan, Richard]

Anybody know what the V12 conversion cost? I still think I like the 560
engine with a Koenig specials (or Jim's, how much power is Jim pushing?)
supercharger on it more, just because there is less plastic covering and
that nice air filter on top.

Yes, quite impressive. The motor/transmission from an S600 implanted
into an SEC. Absolutely awesome, amazing, cool...well you get the idea!
Unfortunately I ran out of the house and was on the road before I
realized I had forgotten my camera but I know plenty of others had them
so we'll have to wait until the pictures come out and get them compiled
for all to see. It is such a nice job and looks like it could have come
out of the factory that way. The hood was up as the car sat in the shop
for all to view and it got quite a bit of attention. Since my engine
wasn't detailed to Ellen's specs I was too embarrassed and kept my hood
down, especially since its just the stock motor and not interesting to
look at with the V12 SEC a few car down, a 500E with nitrous (Bergwerks
special), and a C55 AMG which Motorwerks is helping to get ready for the
One Lap of America race. Brent and I did want to figure out how to get
one of the Benz racing engines in our cars, 2.65 liter with 900
hp...until we heard they break them down after 500 miles and rebuild
them for $50K!
