Hello All, and Merry Christmas.

I would like to know what engines can be put in a 1984 380SE. Are the overhead cam v-8 engines from the bigger models the same animals ?
I would like a little more power.

Thanks, Paul

there are some that are very similar and will bolt right in.

the 500 was offered simultaniously and the 560 was offered later.

the 420 is a lot like the 380 i think.

others will have more specific info.

this might do better in the tech advice forum.

Hey Tom,
Yes, you're correct, I kind of put this in the wrong section. New to this!
