with enough money, anything is possible. paul here (23K) is a good example of that.

sure, just need to move the firewall back about 6 inches, and pull the engine each time you want to change the plugs. lols :D

Yeah it would be nice if it were labeled correctly. How to they have 99% feedback when they obviously have a four cylinder listed as a V8 4.3.

True, but you would have had a really heavy front end .
Throw away all your balance.

what you've done is unique and gutsy.
Respect.

well, according to mercedes, that's the most aerodynamic shape ever. so yeah, probably can't do without that.

well the CLS is very aerodynamic and look how good it turned out to look...what kills me is that with the new euro laws of pedestrian safety...it realy makes the car look really..really..really..bad..and now i guess the more safe and aerodynamic the car is...the more ugly its getting...

Go to a site that has automotive specs and compare the weights of a early '90s SL600 and SL500 ... you have any idea how that would handle? ....and even with all the extra HP, have a look at the difference in performance specs like 0-60. so if you even could fit it, you think it'd be worth it now?

You can almost count on the insulation crystalizing and breaking apart and wiring shorting. A super expensive item. Kept me from buying an early '90s SL.

hmm... would u happen to know if this problem applies to the late w126s? i plan to get one of those to replace my 94' Jag XJ6 3.2S at home. (the model's not available in US). i got a WALD dealer in my town. huh huh....:p

good to know. so would i be correct that a v8 would be ok?
by the way, is that your dog?

by the way, is that your dog? I don't 'think' so. But I didn't query my mechanic about them really, because it was only the early 90's SL600 that interested me at the time. I do know they (V8 vs. V12) used a totally different Bosche ME version, so that hints at other things being different in the engine control.

Yep, that's my 2nd Shiba we just adopted a few months back. She had the helmet on @ the time having just been spade; I thought it framed the head perfect. Believe it or not it was a great 'happy face', but that shot was a blurry throw-away pic. But with resolution re-sizing along with image sharpening during evey step, I ended up with that.
