Couldn't resist it...
I'm 90% certain that I'll be doing the '55 conversion.

Nice, what engine has it now?
I bought this yesterday with a vague plan to put a V8 of some sort in it...

It's a C43.
What engine is in yours? That looks like a C36 bodykit.

That looks exactly like my neighbours old one , Bornite right ?
I wanted to buy it off him until he 'fessed up that it was a 220
Yes Bornite, it's from the Bristol area.
Quite a "ahem" relaxing drive..

Fully AMG styling kit inc alloys, bodykit and wheels. Mated to a fine 2.2 petrol engine
I'm pretty sure that a pre-facelift W202 can't take a V8, I contemplated putting one in the C36 but was told the engine bay was different.
I would have looked into a turbo or SC instead of a V8 convertion
On the other hand,a 202 with a Chevy engine
The small block was on my list already..
Not looked into the options yet. I'm thinking a Nissan Skyline straight 6 turbo should squeeze in. All pie in the sky at the moment though..

If you could squeeze that Skyline straight 6 big turbo in there that would be one hell of a car, would need a manual box though as the MB box married to that engine would be sh*te. If it is an auto box depending on variant you might want to check what torque it can handle if you go that route

Had my fair share of those, The choice of all F1 Stock Car drivers.
A fantastic performer good for about 850 bhp and 700 lb/ft torque

Its nice...
But would you have not been happier having had the C32 to go for a C55? saw a lovely estate the other day. Best of both worlds then.
The trim etc is a little more modern and what you have now?
or even convert your C32 to a C55 ?
