2PHAST, V8 in W124?
Hi 2PHAST & guys,
Just wondering if any of you have successfully swapped any V8 into a W124 before? ( without altering the engine bay )
I did 2 of 2PHAST mini projects before, euro lights & 400E brake conversion, now i have a big warehouse with a engine hoist!
I know the usual answer is to sell the M103 car and get another W124 with a
V8, I am just wondering
Thanks

I agree, either live with the M103 or get a E420/E500. A easier swap would be a M104 to replace your M103, if you get a M104 from a 300SL for example, you would be looking at 228 hp vs. the M103's of 178, thats a 50 hp increase.

Your burn out in 1, 2 and part of 3 is a bit of
I'm running low to mid five second 0-60 times after the TT install and the best I can do is chirp on the 1-2 shift.

My baseline dyno ( Mustang load) prior to twin turbo install on a 63K mile M103-12V was 135HP / 145 LBFT torque which was 30% drive train loss from published power numbers.

meh i don't know much about the motor. all i know is it is fast and thats all that matters that and it still runs good. the other day i hit the gas and the tires spun for 3 seconds then did it again in 2end and 3rd. no more than a few seconds in each gear i don't mean one burn out in all 3 gears i was short on time when posted that i needed to head back to class.
Only way I could get my TT to do that is if I hit the pipe before I hit the gas...
Then anything is possible including space travel....

My 400E engine is starting to have rod-knock, I'm still debating whether to fix it (doubtful, with the alusil and all) or swapping it for another m119, anyone know if I'll run into trouble with a ASR m119 from a W140 or similar?
