I've heard that you do indeed hav to do a serious amount of work to but a 5.0l or 5.6l in the w124 and the other problem is the chassis strength. What i think i will end up doing is finding a C36 AMG engine from a wrecker here, and installing that. It had around 280hp standard which would be great in my car. Only problem is fitting the later model box in my tunnel. I may have to go for the manual option.

best bet is to try your local importers of japan stuff. Speak to them i don't know what the American import laws are. So ask them if you can import those parts that you want. Its a great idea, you could pick up a late model 600SEL half cut cheap most likely. She guy i'm going through in Australia is only really small and is only located within sydney. So contacting him would do no good. but you should be able to find someone who could help you.

If your willing to wait. When i'm ready to do it in about 6 months i may fly to japan to look around and see what they have to offer and then i'll probably buy one whilst i'm over there and organise shipping aswell. So if you want me organise something for you i can probably do that.
