There's a couple in the uk with engine swaps. One with a 3.6 amg motor (pricey) and one with a 3.2 24v out of lots of other mercs that I know of.

m60 V8 that will be interesting and is not that expensive

[cefiro_drifta]

rule of thumb for most conversion is how every long you think its gonna take DOUBLE it and how ever much you think its gonna cost DOUBLE that too.

tbh if i was going to do a merc engine swap id throw a 24v 3.0 diesel with a big turbo on it.

Iv got a 560 SEC 5.6L V8 you can buy

Sounds like a NASCAR..

guy on retrorides i know did a 3.2 24v conversion in his 190, was supposed to be done in a weekend.
an "expert" told him it was all bolt in. in the end it took 3 months due to loads of little bits all being wrong.
it did bolt right in, but its all the little bits that take them time and money
