That's right. Life is a learning experience. There are still a lot of things for you to learn down the road. I guess you are going to give it a shot, right? Good luck no matter which way you choose. Hopefully, it would turn out to be what you've been waiting for. Keep us posted on your project.

try dropping in a w140 engine in your car.. they do this here for most w126's with wrecked engine. a 6cylinder 3liter 24V engine from w140 will give u more power than the 8 cylinder 5liter 16V engine from W126..as well as much better fuel economy..+

u will also have to swap parts like radiator, ac condensor, auxliary electric fan from the W140 too..

A good condition W140 Engine cost around $1200 here with all the accompanying accessories..

egxpimp

yea but ima have to change alll tranny and stuff like that andddd i dont find that quite true.....my cuzin has a 1996 S320 ....me and him have raced before and no contest i killed him pretty bad...

braverichard

Where did you get THOSE details from?

3.2L I-6 from W140: 228HP and 232 ft-lbs of torque
5.0L V8 from W126: 238HP and 299 ft-lbs of torque. (Euro Spec, which is what he has)

The I-6 is more powerful? Did I miss something? You are right on the fuel economy aspect though.

egxpimp

hahaha exactly....and if you have a benz u really dont care about economical with gas....andddd i rather have the real german made stuff then the US version made... anyways guys i gota go before my gf kills me shes just glareing at me right now !

dont forget that the V8 from w126 is also very heavy in weight.. the w140 engine made with newer alloys and having less cylinders is less in weight compared to w128engine.. despite slight less power output the loss in weight will keep ur car performace same.. also dont forget that newer engines breath efficiently even at high rpms delivering constant power output across the band of rpms!!

and im talking abt euro w140 engine!!

braverichard

Well good luck locating a good Euro 140 engine for sale at a reasonable price.

Their is no such thing as a W140 engine!

The S320 got the M104 I6
The S420 got the M119 V8
The S500 got the larger M119 V8
The S600 got the V12
The S350D had the 603

The rest of the world got the S280 M104 maybe?
And the 606 diesel was used in later W140s.

All of these engines were used in many other cars in MB's line.

A 5 liter M119 puts out 302hp a Euro M117 puts out about 300hp. Why go through the expense and effort unless you want a project?

egxpimp

I purchased the engine..and he gave me the power steering pump which was bad on mine for 1$ he said its not leaking and gave me a 30 day warranty on it..so total came out to 926 with shipping..i have to change my oil filter housing because this engine didnt use the oil cooler ..so ill just swap it from my car anddd thats about it .. hmm im looking for a good AC compressor anyone know where i can get one ? anyone have a spare one thats willing to sell it ? lol...also guys who do i take to a piece of trim wood that i want some holes cut in...i bought one from ebay...if you guys recall i have been having a really hard time find a piece of trim wood that matches my car so i bought one from germany but has no holes cut in....so i need to get 3 holes..andd lets see hmmmm any suggestions of things i should do when i put in the new engine ? its already at the dock station.. it arrived today ! hopefully ill get the chance and pick it up tomorrow morning...motor mounts should be comming in mon or tuesday....yup ill keep u guys posted on what goes on

A 5.0 liter M119 puts out as much as 322 bhp SAE net. 315 hp in later formats. A specially tuned high compression Euro 560 puts out 300 bhp. In standard form, Euro 560's put out 272 DIN.

You're thinking of the 3-valve SOHC M113 used in the W220 S500.

Where did you get the woodgrain from in Germany? My Euro 500SEL (which also has the same type of woodgrain as yours) needs lots of its dash wood. Let me know.

egxpimp

go to www.ebay.de

which is in german...i dont know how to read in german soo what i did was
i went to both ebay.com and ebay.de and when i saw an item i wanted to know more about ..on ebay.com i would put the item number and it would translate it to english. If you like i can email the person i purchased the trim wood from and see if he can help you out..

Enrique

P.S. search for w126 or something like that ..theirs hecka nice items on ebay.de for w126's

braverichard

Oh cool. I actually checked it out right after posting that message. I'll look into it. Thanks.

egxpimp

Yea its pretty cool since ebay.de is stuff from germany cuz its made for the european market....soi yup! take advantage of that stuff !! hey braverichard...do you know the answer to the question i asked about the vaccum lock pump ? would you mind trying it for me (dc that plug i circle in red and see if the pump will still operate) if you dont mind, thanks !
