A Question. Wondering why not use a M113 engine like you have in your C43 in your W201 project? (I have one, a longblock, if you would want one)
The main reason is just the similarity of engines....both use CIS fuel injection, both are from basically the same era, with similar auxillaries as far as I can tell. The m113 would be awesome, but I think I may have a lot more trouble dealing with such a computerized engine. Also, I like the idea of the m117's tuneability. Correct me if I'm wrong though.....as that would be a pretty crazy swap as well
