I'd consider picking up a C36 motor (available for ~$2-$3k) instead. Potomac Pat dropped in a late M104 into an early W201, no reason you couldn't do something similar with a C36 powerplant. It would be easier if the recipient was a late 124 - I think.

That Brabus car looked like it still had the single cam and the CIS. You think that is a custom cam?
