Hi
I would like to fit a V8 to a w124 estate
I have a 500 sec with the m117 V8 engine to use
I know several people (Jaymantek with his 500 TE ) have done these
a company called mb V8 conversions based in ilfracombe seems to be well regarded although I am unsure if they’re still operating?
I don’t have the engineering skills that some other members possess so I would need a mechanic to do the job
can anyone recommend any other companies that offer this conversion?
i would also like to get an idea of cost? It might be that without me doing some of the work it becomes prohibitively expensive
I know it’s hard to give an exact figure but am I looking at
4-5k or 8-10k for the work? I would provide both cars for the job
thanks
