No longer interested in a 4-cam M117, only SOHC. Extensive research has taught me that the 4-cam M117's are extremely unreliable and they have gotten far too expensive, so the "collectors" can have them. I am only interested in a 2v M117 6.0L or M119.960 6.0L.

If possible can you put a modern M156 engine? That would be sick!

That is certainly possible, but not the route I would choose to go if I decided to use a modern AMG engine. This car is a genuine Affalterbach-built pre-merger AMG, so it really needs another pre-merger engine to be installed to preserve the integrity and value of the car. This is why an M117 6.0L or early M119 6.0L is the best way to go. If my car were a "tribute" car, I would most certainly have already installed either an M113k as so many other SEC's have successfully done, or if honestly if I were to install a newer generation AMG engine I much prefer the M157 to the M156.

It states on his comment that he got ripped off when he sent off for repair of some sort. Never got the engine back.
