132 Cylinders of AMG

Its been a busy couple of weeks here at Speedriven. And one day in particular while glancing around the shop I noticed we had a lot of AMG motors here, so much so that it needed to be counted All total in just AMG motors we had 132 Cylinders of AMG motors from 9 V12s and 3 v8s.

Thought it needed to be photographed, so enjoy...





Also, here are some projects going on around the shop...

An E55 came in for our heat exchanger and throttle body package, along with a bunch of other items as well.



Another E55 with a LOT of mods came in to have a couple projects completed. One of which involved removing the terribly built exhaust it had and fabbing a new one with an X pipe. Here is a picture of it in progress.



Another custom X Pipe full exhaust system for a CL600


A Limited slip differential being installed into a CLS55



A couple 82mm TBs being built



And a couple pictures of some cars around the shop




Thank you!
Aleks
