They seem to be going for about $5k at wreckers (stock)

Guilty

What? 5k for the engine?

I'm looking at one for 3k, don't know what kind of condition it's in, and it's in Australia! (Usually 3 times the price of everything!)

604 C63

3k sounds more like the core charge.

I think Keith should consider this:

^ That aint no black series engine. M159

This is not a SLS Black Series motor. It is just a run of mill M159 motor.

Hey Jim,
Don't you or Earl need a spare engine to take apart and prepare for another build??

Thanks,
Keith

Really it wouldnt be hard to get a SLS BS engine.. Just upgrade your valve train on a normal M159 and find someone to tune it to perfection.

Only difference is the valve train to hit the 8000rpm redline.

Does anyone know the exhaust he had on it or how to achieve that sound?? Best sounding AMG ever by the way!
