What, like first time anal sex?

when Al takes on a project, your instructions become a rough guide. Mostly limited to keeping the car body that you handed over, the rest is variable.

Just keep saying yes.

[I'm DJ!]

Clayto's nopics said she would prefer a turbo V8 to an NA LS.

Pretty sure I heard this too

"Blah blah whatever you want, put a gt42 on it while its there etc?"

I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever the result is. But it must be a manual V8. No compromise there. And it needs to be close to a particular budget.

Thanks for taking me for a spin in the 2J Merc on Saturday. Was certainly entertaining, but, desperately in need of some traction!

I'm not sure when my wife talked about GT42's though LOL!

And it needs to be close to a particular budget.

Which is?

[bahaimus]

Which is?

It is under discussion and there are a lot of variables. But it's five figures.

I hope this turns out to be quick.

$123.45?

[Sketchy]

I hope this turns out, full stop.

Soooo, is LS1 the final word Clayto?

I've been thinking about this more and doing a lot of reading. Given the space restrictions, I think that it should be the final word.

I think a quad cam turbo V8 would be the go.

While this is certainly an interesting proposition, there's just a heap of extra custom work over a basic LS1 conversion and that gets away from what I am trying to achieve out of the project now.

I hope this turns out to be quick.

It will. I promise.

$123.45?

So you've seen a copy of my quote from Al?

A 400ish rwhp LS1 in this should probably decent fasts.

just divert a few dollars here and there for future turbo fun

Fixed.

Fast Mercs need belt whine.

New amg's have a 5.5 tt v8, so therefore putting a turbo 5.7 into the 190e will more or less turn it into an E55

[Turbo 351]

Shame you didn't get to take my E36 for a drive, It would have fixed any of your reservations-This will basically be the same...

Go LS1 and don't look back-Modern day torana style concept.

Actually go a L98 with a 220 cam from the start.

I reckon the Chev is a much better idea than a Jap turbo 6. Even if it's just for the noise.
