[W126 Coupe] With all this talk about engines, begs the questions...

[Dick Spellman]

Well Bill, if I actually got a fast ride, I'd have to ask that you put the fix in so I could air it out around this area.  I still have my favorite strip of highway where I am running along at 120+ for the 10 mile stretch.  Always have wondered what would happen if I were stopped for my FIRST speeding ticket???  You think having a few friends on the SP and a few locals would matter?

  Isn’t there a guy named Satish somewhere up in the Great Lake State that does that sort of thing in his spare time or on his lunch hour?  I think once all is done it would be like working on the car the transplant came from except in a different body providing everything fit right!  It would be something to see if you could get a new world Mercedes engine in yours!  I imagine big, big, big bucks!  You could always settle for an LT1 or something similar!  VRROOOOOM!

  A loaded set of questions for the MBCoupes types truly in the know.

   

  Just wondering what would it take to put the latest and greatest engine in one of these SEC's?

  Who has the talent, what is the cost?

  What are the other components needed to get the job done i.e. tranny, rear end, etc?

  How easy will be the new transplant for the local mechanic to maintain and work on when all is said and done?

  Reliability, longevity, documentation to support future service?

   

  Regards,

   

  Dick
