The Black one

was bought so it could be the recipient of the E55 engine and the built trans.
It became so nice in the process that I sold it to a fellow member in the Midwest and after spending a few more weeks of going over every nut bolt and square inch of body surface it will be delivered by me on the next road trip.Another Wagon is almost done with the V8.Test drove it the other day stock gearing 2nd gear 6000 rpm 0-60 mph in 4.9 flat.It really feels like it needs a few shift points modified to allow the tiptronic 6700rpm before banging 2nd and 3rd.

OP still needs to load test and specific gravity test his Battery.

Gotta love a hot rodded wagon. Going full boat AMG or just engine? Would love to see picks. How much needs to be changed for the motor swap from V6 to V8? Any details?
