What in god's name is this?

Yea, thats just a nasty w126 with the second smallest engine and an AMG body kit.

Well that's disappointing.

I'm still trying to nail down a time to look at it and see if they ARE hammer monoblocks. If they are, i'll buy it, maybe get it running long enough to make a nitrous expirement video until it blows up, then sell the wheels.

Do we think it would like a 200 shot?

It would LOVE a 200-shot.

Whether or not it survives said 200-shot is a different story, but it would be like a torquegasm while it's running.

It would also love a small-block after you blow it up.

We'll see... first step is continuing to deal with the guy. He's kindof a major flake. He'll call back eventually, and leave a message, but only answer about a quarter of my questions at a time.

I'm not real psyched about doing a motor swap on a Mercedes, so i'd probably just crush it after i sold the wheels and whatever AMG pieces are marketable.

Haha, you're all about this Mercedes V8 locost, aren't you...

We'll see what happens. I'd certainly need a LOT of help doing that sort of project.
