[W126 Coupe] 300SE to 560 SE upgrade complete

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Paul:

I appreciate the offer.  I am sitting on a 500 euro motor destined to 
replace my 380 motor in the SEC.  But, where I am tied up on other 
projects for a while I've been keeping my eye out for the 300bhp 560 
euro motor complete witht he harness, engine management etc.  I'd take a 
pass on the 560 US motor where the 500euro is jsut about 240 hp.

Take care and good luck with parting out the SEC.

Dick
