[W126 Coupe] Engines

[Shayegan, Richard]

IIRC (the message seemed to hint at it, but I'm not positive) the early W140 S600...though it might have been any W140 S600 because he said "I'll let you know if the engine on my dad's 95 S600 ever goes" to the person enquiring about how new a tranny type we can use.

What model is that out of?  I would think a W140, but
am not sure what year or type.
