[W126 Coupe] Conversion 380 to 500euro

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Vance:

I'll check into the best make-up once I have it in hand.  If I can forgo 
the cost of rebuilding a tranny then that is a plus but, it all has to 
work including the differential.

I'll let you know what I learn once it's in my garage.

If you have the complete 500 Euro MB then it might be worth considering transplanting the tranny and diff as well. If it is the same story with the 500 as the 560, this would give you far better acceleration times. Of course it also depends on the condition of the units, but thought I would just point out the possibility. Also check what ratio's the 380 has also. It could work out even better.
