[W126 Coupe] Engine Swap

[Mdefran at earthlink.net]

Richard,

The numbers I am thinking of are not the stock numbers but the AMG built engines where the compression ratios have been raised and the cams and headers added.

You could probably do something like what I did to a euro 500 engine and add something like 40 hp to the engine. That would probably be the limit short of finding the pure bred AMG engine.

In any case, it would be a welcome change I can assure you as my buddy who has my stock 500 in his 380 is quite happy with the change he has received.

Keep thinking as this is a big step and big money.

Ciao
