Performance Upgrades?

Either a 5 liter engine from a 140 S Class or a different ratio rear diff are the only upgrades within the realm of most mortals, that will give REAL performance increases.

The cheapest that I have seen new is $59 each on ebay.

I have a decent pair you can have for $40 (total) + some shipping

Stock?

Why would you go from a 275 hp V-8 to a 268 hp 6? Weight? Not much gain there, the transmission is different too.

For under $2k you can do a 5 liter engine and a 3.07 rear diff upgrade, make your 400E faster than a 500E.

thanks for the ideas. if i need to replace the engine, hopefully i wont need to, i will definately consider the 5 liter..you can never have too much power.
