[W126 Coupe] Dropping the 380 for a euro 500 oreuro560orsopmething better?

[Shayegan, Richard]

When I was asking about supercharging a while back, I got the impression from Jim that one could very safely run 10psi on a euro 500 with methanol water injection. Should be good for 400hp at the crank. The SRT8 I drove some during the Columbus day weekend (went home) has 425hp, after feeling 425hp I think 400 should be plenty in an SEC (SEC weighs some 500lbs less and is significantly more aerodynamic).

I haven't seen his car . . . but was thinking more power 
and liked that 560. Looks good standing still.

Atilla, have you seen Dick's 380? If the car I saw photos of is his 380, selling it is not an option.

Sell the 380. Look on traderonline, under 'auto trade' not
collector. 1988, 560SEC, $10,000. Beautiful looking paint
job, Wald kit, rebuilt engine? (10k), new interior, custom
wheels, stereo upgrade, etc. And I bet he would take $9k.

What will it take in terms of engine, tranny, electronics?
 
$, time, availability of the perfect donor parts?
 
Setting it all up so it works and is agreeable maintenance to 3rd part MB Indy mechanics?
 
Euro because it boasts the best performance before the US Gov't got it's hands on the SEC.
