[W126 Coupe] Fw: 380 Engine "Swap" ?

[Shayegan, Richard]

www.adsitco.com $4500 ($800 core though, and the 380 core is $500 so
it'll be 4800). Only bad thing is it has the later black valve covers. I
wonder if the 380 valve covers fit?

Hi Mark:

How's that MOMO steering wheel anyway?  You may recall I sold you a MOMO
where I had purchased two identical set-ups and the SEC only used one:).
I
thank you for the run down on a motor swap.  If I purchased a complete
500euro motor that would be the best of all worlds otherwise I'd buy a
completely rebuilt longblock and then have to sort though and find
compatible intake manifold, exhaust manifold and all the other bolt ons
to
make it work unless some of the 380 components would fit without
hampering
performance.

So, I am hunting for a euro 500 motor complete.

Regards,

Dick
