What kind of engine is this?

I'm stumped! It looks like a 603 but everything is strange. Aftermarket?

Fast forward to 3:00 minutes.

Its a SWB post 86 car, with a 603? That coolant tank looks like its from a 617 powered 300SD. Some parts under the hood look like they are from a W124.

Interesting car.

No problem with the link for me.
It's certainly a 603 turbo engine but AFAIK they were only in US 126's. This guy must have swapped one from a 124.

The "chassis" at the 5:04 point is far more interesting.....

For everyone to see.

It has SLS, the coolant bottle is definitely not from a 603 and the airbox is not from a W126 as the snorkel is not on the front corner. I'm betting it's a 560SE converted with a 87 300D/TD.

Thats what I am thinking. What is strange is that its turbo charged. I thought that all 603's of that vintage in Europe were NA?
