Just a word of advice (not to scare you away from that engine), if you aquire an S class with the V-8, please be sure to change the timing chain and related components... the chain travels a much larger distance and in it's path shifts very quickly in many directions.... slipped timing chain or broken timing chain equals the possiblity of total engine destruction!!!!
