What’s the smallest car you’ve worked with? I’d love to see you do something like a Fiat Topolino with a Suzuki Cappuccino engine and transmission and made to look like a Harry Westergard era taildragger.

@77winkleman You’re right, the W116 450SEL from 1975 to 1981. But that’s an old one, i was talking about modern MB engines that are now in production.

@pa3op89nbg Don’t forget the 6.9 liter v8 from the late 70′s. Not as much power as the newer engines but it did have more displacement

The US-Bumpers look ugly - prefer the german version.

thats the thing. I was wondering if it would be a drop in setup or lets just say the clk i was talkin about was a V6… Could i just swap out the engine and tranny mounts and put in the V8′s?? I’ve done this to nissan 240′s before but now i have an itch to do it to a clk. I used to drive a 1994 S420 with 20′s and 2 15”subs and 3 tv’s. I’m just really curious about this.

Well, I’m not really a mechanical expert, but it depends if you have like 500 SL then most probably not, because thats a V8…

Largest V8 by Mercedes is 6.2 that comes with the 5th gen of SL model facelift[SL63 AMG]. It pumps out 525bhp and does 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds.

I´m looking forward to get an engine swap on my Mercedes 250C from 72. It already has a problem on the camshaft and is leaking some oil. I replaced the front suspension and brakes but now I´m having problems with the I-6 engine. I think I´ll have to save some money to get a GM LS1 or maybe a 302 from Ford.

Hold the brakes until the tires break loose. After they break loose put your foot in it all the way!! Manually shift the gears. The ZZ4 is an awsome tire smoker!!

Nice! Wish you had more vids of this thing.
I’ve got a ’70 250C with a SBC/TH400 swap, but unfortunately it’s been in the shop getting a million things done for the past 10 months. Watching this video really makes it tough to be patient!
