When my diesel engine gives up, IM going to put a 500Euro coupled to a stick shift, with 327 limited slip gears, until I can rebuild my diesel engine, but when its done again back to diesel, I will think I am going backwards. Maybe I should find a 280CE and do that to it, then I could have a winter car. The diesel in the winter sucks.

AMG put in the DOHC m117 engine into a w123, so Im sure a 6.9 would fit, but I think that a 500Euro M117 has more power than the 6.9, at least parts are way cheaper.

500Euro with 560 heads, that would be nice.
