Wow! Interesting there’s no mention of engine mods for the W116. Check out the W126 prices!! 😳😮🥴🏆😎

Actually 55 years

The original twin throttle AMG M100 6.8L followed by a very recent excellent copy....

I’m evaluating all V8 cams but yes it’s interesting that the Euro M117.968 cams are still rather mild

Hell no ive just started stripping it!

Last night....

Seems the Benz cams are rather retarded compared to others. However Benz list specs at 2mm lift instead of the usual 0.050”. Not even the metric equivalent! Of course they have to be different!!

Too far gone to fix, she’s saving at least 3 other cars!!

Not much room with these headers!! Twin 3” on a mates car but the collectors been crushed a fair bit to get around the steering box!! Driver’s side is very cramped. Makes you wonder how the fabricator managed to get it all in there without complete engine removal!! Food for thought...

Funny a friend asked me about this one the other day on behalf of an interested buyer. It looks good from a distance, but some of the niggles would raise questions about the quality of maintenance & repairs on this one.

Anyone read this & have any thoughts/comments?? https://www.ccjdigital.com/alternative-power/article/15292318/cummins-hydrogen-engine-offers-advantages-over-allelectric

MG is made in China so that's me out on that fact alone.....
