Ok let me get this for a second....im really miffed here.
You think the guy put a newer cam cover on his car to go OVER the old cam cover? Was this done in an effort to keep the car warm on those long cold lonely nights? That would be just great... make the motor run even hotter!
I vote for the M117 with the M119 heads....
Ever try to find a 4 valve M117 head to put on after you fry the weak heads on the hammer motor? Well... there are none really so if you want to keep the 4 cam motor you need to go to the best thing.. a modified M119 head.

This issue was discussed way back, over on mbcoupes.com.

once again, it is possible that the car has the 119 heads fitted to 117 block, but highly unlikely. However if it is possible, i would love to do it.
