SLEEPER
To be honest, Supras, Mustangs, Corvetts, BMWs, and GTRs are fast.. Really fast for the matter. The thing is, they are expected to be fast. But, nothing brings a bigger smile to your face, than smoking these cars at a 60mph roll, in a car that you would imagine your grandmother would drive to church on sundays in... A straight up SLEEPER!!!!! Too many people under estimate mercedes in the tuning comunity. I think this is because the newer cars are becoming more like pre wrapped packages you cant touch atless you are a mercedes certified mechanic at a dealership (still beautiful cars though). I dont know if my statement is true about all over the world, but as far as i have seen in the U.S.A it is... Thats why i want to slap together a budget sleeper out of a w124 or w123, either will do. i am unfamiliar with Mercedes aftermarket parts venders also. SO, IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA'S TO BRING MB JUSTICE TO THE STREETS IN THE FORM OF A SLEEPER... OR ANY AFTERMARKET PARTS VENDORS TO HELP IN THE ENDEAVOR, LEAVE A COMMENT... I MEAN ANY IDEAS AT ALL, FROM ENGINE SWAPS TO WATER TO AIR INTERCOOLER PLACMENT IF NEEDED, PLEASE POST BELOW....

thanks, and yes i have heard of them, i cant get their # to contact them though... i had questions about their exhaust manifolds. I heard you can buy an exhaust manifold adapter kit? I could be wrong. of course it would have to come from another i6 engine. Am also thinking if I'm running forced induction on a naturally asperated engine (Although that's what TB does and its proven), steel gaskets and head bolts might be necessary as a precaution. Any other ideas?????

Yes, that would probably be a good idea 
. I have been thinking the unthinkable lately and have been considering a VOLVO instead of a Mercedes. But, i shall stay on the path of the righteous. I like the common om606 swap in the w123 and w124, but sourcing a low mileage engine is near impossible in the states. Sort of at a wall, this isnt supposed to be a project to dump a crap ton on. I meant for this to be a budget sleeper to show that Mercedes can hang with the big boys.
