A 500SEC with a V12 engine and new interior is one of my dream cars!!

[@mikewilliams4947]

I always loved the coupes. Had a CL600 that I just could not stop looking at. What kept me from this vintage was the wiring harnesses. Watching the progress, thank you guys!

[@peakperformance8960]

@@mikewilliams4947 why? There’s no wiring harness issues with these cars

[@mikewilliams4947]

@@peakperformance8960 they did. The plastic casing on the engine looms deteriorated prematurely.

[@peakperformance8960]

@@mikewilliams4947 I've only seen that on cars with the degradable wiring harnesses, any of the 80s or early 90s mercedes cars I own have been fine

[@mikewilliams4947]

@@peakperformance8960 yes thank you for that update. The ones with the biodegradable harness did have a coup version too iirc. Anyway awesome cars! It takes a special kind of person to drive one of these things.

I’m super impressed with the relative simplicity in getting the V12 in there. Just wondering how long we will have Stefan gracing us with his presence on your channel?

I'm really interested in this, will the haltec work the esp on the car or will that be deleted. I've a cl600 and its interesting to see we can do a haltec conversion on the car and get rid of some of the failure points.

[@MrDutchgrass]

Great video and great projects! Just wanted to let you know that Stefan's Instagram link in your description does not work.

[@jasonbirch1182]

Called that on the r107 oil pan. I'm not familiar enough with the newer m113 family to say which engine would be the correct donor but that original rear sump pan was a huge issue. My drift car is a c107 so I've looked very deeply at different engine swap options.

[@poptartmcjelly7054]

If you're going standalone on the V12 will you replace the mercedes coilpacks with COP's? Seems like there's not that much space between plugs.

[@b2kbabe219]

As someone who swapped a Mercedes m273 into a mini truck this makes me very happy!

There's a company in Poland - K-jet killers - and they do a conversion to EFI with standalone ECU. But you decided to swap V12 in it.... this project looks sweet btw.

[@kevinm9993]

Did you guys ever finish this 500SEC is it for sale ?

[@gregs8685]

Awesome wide body SEC, but an e55 engine (NA or kompressor) probably would have given more than enough power and not upset the weight distribution too badly. A biturbo V12 is an awfully heavy and long engine...

[@1malikalik]

I agree. A NA E55 would be sweet

[@mooumy7198]

My dream car is 190 2.3 16v or the 2. 5 16v. But I do like your sec en what your going to do with itt. Gratings from the Netherlands

awesome!!! i have been waiting holy crap. did you guys get any info on wheter this was converted or actually came from afterbach. this is the only thing i would ok, usually this car is so rare and awesome but a rrv12 thats freaking bitchin. please let me or in next vid. i cant wait to see this thing. im a premerger amg lunatic!!!!! godspeed gents

[@jgonzalesm6]

Did you guys upgrade: 1) the driveshaft 2) the differential 3) rear wheel rims and tires Because the horsepower and torque of that M275 is quite high.

[@Mercmad]

Iapan got boat loads of desirable AMG conversions . LHD is a status symbol with those guys who have full body tattoos. on that V8 ,It's constant injection KEJet , more hydraulic that mechanical ,the actual mechanical injection,MFI was introduced on Mercedes cars with the gullwings and 300C models of the early 50's. It looks like a diesel set up. Porsche was still using in their race winners up into the 1980's. On the engine you pulled, see if it has adjustable tappets, if so,the engine is a hot one ,high compression and will have "AMG 5.0" stamped into the ends of the cams. Putting the M116-117 into Fintails, they are lighter than the old six units.

[@mipcstv]

Amazing. You guys need an apprentice?

[@garym.5931]

I bought a very clean 560SEC. Would you be interested in doing a V12 or M119 V8 or M113K swap in it?

[@liridoni123]

Nice job same mercedes but l put another engine E 320 cdi on s500 same as you have on this video

[@faizfaris8190]

due to the extra weight of the engine, are you going to do something to keep "healthy" weight balance preventing heavy nose ?

[@dodge33445]

Can you fit my v12 bi turbo I have on a stand in my 2004 S500? I have the engine already . The car runs great, I just want to swap it. But I know I need someone who knows their stuff.

[@manuelgonzalez5508]

European modern hot rods my cup of tea👍

[@vladsmachina3285]

is this project for sale?

[@marcocerqueira2732]

That SEC has different fenders, not familiar with wide body version, but looks awesome

[@1one3_Racing]

Most people associate V12 with supercar and supercar with power. But V12s don't actually make much power. V12zms allow higher displacement without oversquaring the bore so you can rev it higher and still keep a small package. Most modern V12s are only built to be smooth. More cylinders means they fire closer together and timing can be set so they dont rumble, vibrate or drone. For big power V8 is ideal. As much as I hate to admit it since I'm not a V8 guy.

[@CaptainInsano-go6vo]

[@averagedev7768]

This is some amazing work. I wanted to do something similar to a w124 but id like to use a newer more economy engine the M274 from a W212 E200. It can pass the emissions and that is a good thing. The car originally came with a worn out M111 so i think this will be a good update
