[W126 Coupe] 300SE to 560 SE upgrade complete

[Shayegan, Richard]

IIRC, the US 560 is somewhere around 240hp. IIRC you can get euro
engines from Metric Motors. You can get euro 500 engines from adsit. If
you are going from a 380 or a 500 to a 560, good luck, you'll need an
entire car, not just an engine and some parts. That's why my plan is to
go to a euro 500 engine an Nowak it (hoping for 12psi with the methanol
water injection)...just need to get out of college and then out of grad
school first (or if the current engine goes before then - not likely -
my dad will let me put in a euro 500, but no modifying until I'm done
with school (though yes, all this would be with my own money).

Dick, I don't know the hp on my 560, but it was pretty powerful...and,
I'm about ready to part it out, finally.  Car is in So. Cal.; you would
have to do all the work to get the engine (unless you want the whole
car.)  Make me an offer.
