You couldn't find a 190 with a V12 in it?

Not for lack of trying. I am taking a long, hard look at this car though:

I love those CLs, but the V12 engine seems like way too much for me to have to maintain. I think eight cylinders is enough for me. That's one schweeeet looking coupe, though!

I did a pre-purchase inspection once on a CL600, and the dealer told me it was in very nice condition, and the price to repair the defects they found was $8700. Gulp.

On the other hand, if you want the power of an Indy car, you have to pay the piper.

Yeah, cars like that are for people in a world I know little or nothing about . . .

Fitting an SOHC m117 into a w201 is actually a lot more straightforward than it would seem, though many of the little details take time and thought. I will be very interested to see the details of this car (it's like my twin, but maybe w/ a 6.0L displacement if it is what it claims to be). Either way, I bet you will have a lot of fun w/ it!

Hey, Bruce, I think you should drive it down to Chad's GTG in September and show it off. I'd love to see it in person, maybe even take a ride in it . . . .

If it's done, would love to. Or maybe bring the 560 6.0 DOHC if it's not. and I've got a couple of mid-late 80's E28 and E34 BMW 5-series Dinan turbos. Heresy, I know, but they're fun too.

What's the info on the GTG (date, location, time, etc)?

It's all right here.

I hope you can make it, Bruce. I'd like to meet you and see your car (whichever one you decide to drive).
