Is that the same one that's on the 500E site? I didn't know that you had listed it here on this site too. I had only stumbled on your ad over there by accident. And now I don't even go over there anymore!

I was thinking to bring your crank up but I'm too pissed at that site to be willing to send anybody over there. I know, I'm bad. You all can cut me some slack though cause my beloved dog just died only 25 hours ago.

Plus, with you being in Canada the shipping will probably be brutal. Are there any other issues like customs or taxes or tariffs or anything else like that for him to contend with?

If it ends up being too expensive maybe he might be better off just finding one locally now that he knows that they come from 3.5 diesels. I think he's low buck like me!

They were making those kind of numbers in 56 and only 3 litres.

I had a 36, and I have raced SLK 350 (278 hp and 7 speed), the slk was slower, a couple of them not just one.

the 36 engine has more power than advertised. has amazing torque. 220 ftlb at 1500 rpm.

as for OP, the block will need slight mods to clear the extra stroke, nothing that would stop the build.

beware thou that boring to 36 pistons will run the cyl walls so thin it inevitable that u will start blowing gaskets over time.

Jay! I've missed you! Where have you been?

If I hadn't been so busy taking care of my dog these past 9-plus months I'd have sent a search party out for you!

Sorry to hear about your dog.
