[W126 Coupe] Engine Swap

[Tim Graney]

I am going to rebuild the 560 motor and use the heads and the rest of
the components off the 500, what I was concerned about was the
electronics, like the idle control unit etc.

Is the 560 a euro or US motor?  If so, why are you thinking of doing the
switch?  I think the euro 500 has about the same hp as the US 560 motor.
Now if it was a euro 560 motor....!

I am thinking a swapping my engine out of my 85 500SEC Euro with an 89
560SEC. How difficult a project is this and what would I need to change
to make the switch?
