What I want is an air compressor that can be mounted to a 617 engine in place of the A/C compressor. Then put a 10 gallon air tank in the trunk, run some lines, and a switch to engage the clutch, and you have a 100hp super high pressure/volume air compressor where ever you need it!
I have heard of people plumbing the A/C compressor to simply pressurize air, though not on MBs. Air ride suspension and train/semi air horns here we come! Maybe you can stick a few hoses out the back for some extra thrust up the hills
