[W126 Coupe] 300SE to 560 SE upgrade complete

[Shayegan, Richard]

So, money be damned, are there any good sources for rebuilt euro
engines?

Personally, I wouldn't touch Adist w/ a 50 foot pole..  The one Metric
300hp engine I've dealt w/ was shy about 30-40hp.

You can use the CIS/Ignition set up from a 500 on a 560 block if you
wanted..

For those that are interested I'm purchasing a car w/ a Renntech engine
(heads, cams, pistons, exhaust etc..) with the intention of offering the
same mods to interested parties. 

I'm also chatting w/ Squires/STS turbos...hope to adapt one of their
corvette kits to my white SEC this fall/winter w/ about 9 psi or so.

BTW, great work Talbir..I have no doubts that car is an absolute
ripper!! Cheers:):)
