Hi,

Not sure if this is a re-post but its
a very interesting project.

190 16v with a E55 AMG Motor and
rack and pinion steering.

I like stuff like thats but i think it is to heavy at the front ..... but for a drift car should be great

Hi,

Yes I agree.

If you go to all that trouble then it makes sense
to try and get as much of the weight
rearwards.

Not sure how the steering tie rods will work
as they cross over the top of the front
wishbones ?

That was one of the reasons for me placing
the rack in front on my 16v Rack and Pinion
conversion.

V8 Should make a good Autobhan Stormer just
have to slow down for the exits !!

The Gorilla.

Very nice Thing!
I have seen a picture of an old W112 with a E55 Engine like this one in Gorilla`s Post.
But it would be interessting to swap the engine of a C32 AMG/SLK 32 AMG into a W201.
This engine have also 354PS and the best thing is, it is supercharged.
So with a other wheel on the charger and some modifications in the electronic
it`s sould be easy to get about 400PS. And the engine must be a little bit lighter than the
M113 of the E55 AMG (W210).

But this engine swap looks great too!

Thank you Gorilla for shareing this with us!
