[W126 Coupe] Re: 420SEC with 3.27 Approx. 0 to 60 times??

Theo,

I wasn't assuming anything.

I was simply pointing out that swapping an engine is not a simple drop-in, 
plug-and-play then drive away. Would not want to make anyone think this is 
an easy job that can be done by any semi-competent shade-tree mechanic.

If your mechanic can do that job, he is a wiz and should be treated as such.
