Cool, and where in the Bay Area can you street test the result? And whenever you have a modification job done, it would void your MB warrantee, right? How long would Evosport going to garrantee their work?

engine should be built in about 3 weeks. I figure 6 - 8 weeks for completion of the entire car, although there are quite a few things left to be done. Pictures will be posted as the project progresses.

I think the CLK is overall the most balance of the coupe lineup. CL is a bit too big and the SLK is pretty small. Glad that you will have one of the kind CLK and make sure you take a lot of pictures afterward. Good luck and enjoy.

Did you guys look at keeping it Normally Asperated? Since you are going to 6300cc you could get about 600-650 Hp on a NA motor with a full header and a 7500 rpm limit.
Look at the Engine Master Challenge run at Popular Hot Rod. They had a buildup contest, 365cubic inch motors, 91 octane fuel and the winner achieved 608Hp, with a ton of torque.
Anyhow food for thought for others interested in that sort of thing.
