spam: [W126 Coupe] 380 to 500 euro conversion

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Richard:

I should be good to go.  This will be one of the last steps in 
completing this project.  I am tearing the engine down and rebuilding 
within safe specs for optimal power.  I may have to follow Talbir's 
advise and reduce the 11 inch wide rear tires to 10 inches to avoid a 
rub on the inside wheel well.  I clearly see an area at 10-11 o'clock 
where with the lowered suspension contact is made under acceleration now 
and I expect it will be worse with the euro motor.
