[W126 Coupe] Aussie FrankenBenz Progress!

[Mike Kelly]

Hi Axel,

Yes that's the motor, an E500 increased to 5.5L, 3 valves/cylinder, twin
iridium plugs and variable pressure supercharger. The trans in 5 speed
computer controlled.

350kw [469hp] 700Nm [516ft lbs] torque.

It should make the 560SEC feel different!

 

Mike K.

Sounds fantastic!
 
The W211 5.5L engine is based on the M113 V8, correct?
...and AMG added a kompressor (among other modifications).
 
Keep us updated and post pictures on Benzworld.org.
