I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but that ghastly green interior is ..... well ghastly...

I like the engine bay....

1) A 300km speedo with strange markings and no AMG logo
2) Love the Tacho and the 6,000 rpm redline
3) It seems to have the intake more suited to mechanical injection - is it a 6.3 conversion?
4)Its a manual!!!!!!!!! Great

From the oil filler cap on the right cam cover it is a 6.3 conversion

How would you take a 6.3 to 7.3?

Would you bore the engine or stroke it?

I'd imagine you would have to bore and stroke it to get to that capacity.
If I remember right the 6.3 block does not have a lot of metal around the bores so can only be bored out a little untill the cylinder walls become to thin.

AMG did achive 6.8 with these engines in their early 70's racing cars.

for the 6.9 there is factory MB oversized pistions available up to 7.2 I think
