That Brabus V12 actually has some balls. The regular V12 lump is very underwhelming, IMO.

btw guys the R129 SL shares same front chassis with the coupe 124 so thou fitting an M120 is hard work due work needed on the fire wall, if one is taken from an SL into the W124 it can be fitted to look like factory install.

I was looking at M120s on ebay last night. I really would like to do a V12 swap, but I just don't have the time right now, I've got 3 project cars lol.

That Brabus E73 is fantastic though.

Even a regular run of the mill 400 horse (approx.) 6.0L M120 W124 done on the cheap would be a very worthy car.

As someone who likes to work on his cars, I'll take the M119 plz. Though I may have saw some color from a frame rail in a pic, maybe. Probably a mistake though...

the sight of a V12 is killer, thou i am sure the M119 will out perform a 6.0 M120.

It was a joke... like tee hee? To illustrate the fact that I do not believe there is a square inch of space in that bay that has not been filled with engine.
