A few things: I forgot to film an outro to this, so thank you to everyone for watching, please Like, Subscribe, all that Jazz- I'm also more active over on Instagram (@wesleykagan) for the day to day stuff, If you want more than once a month content. Speaking of once a month content, I'm one person in a garage, and doing once a month is working well for me currently, I'd love to do videos every day for you guys- but unless someone invents the 450 hour day, It's difficult. Sometimes I'll be a bit faster, sometimes it takes a bit longer- my biggest thing right now is to focus on quality over quantity, which I understand the algorithm doesn't like, but so be it. Thank you for watching, and for your continued support, comments, and insight.

I like drag racing. I like drag cars. I like big cubic inch V8's on methanol or nitromethane. I work at a drag strip. I usually don't care much at all about any other kind of motorsport but somehow this video pegged my gearhead-o -meter. This was easy for me to want to watch. The level of mechanic'ary depicted is astonishing. The music playlist is befitting also. You could have had heavy as hell metal, fancy hip hop and R&B or beautiful long country ballads, combined them all... and it would have added nothing to the video, imo. People like you are why I work at the place I do. Every man woman and child needs to experience some form of 'another level' racing fly by with the wind and fumes following at least once in their life. And when they do almost all of them will never forget it. For a minority like me and I suspect you, it's damn near religious. Did you even brag about anything at all? With all them slices of humble pie you ate the whole damn thing didn't you!?! When people get to experience that thing that you are building do what it is going to do and it massages their eardrums or blows their hat off their entire existence is going to be elevated and belong to that moment right then and there. As a track employee I have heard many drivers say they have forgotten what it's like to be a spectator because they never see their reactions like I do. I've seen laughing, crying, passing out, jumping up and down, pissing in pants... just a complete embodiment of(WOW)... Etc. Keep the bar high dude! Keep making this industry something that people want to bring their wife and kids and grill too, so they can sit back have a good time and enjoy the show. I know a subscription is just a notification but they all add up at the end of the day. Just like tenths on track times. So here's mine. Many podiums or checkered flags or winners circles to you brother. Hell yea👍

Im glad you switched over to the M120! I have one in my garage waiting for my SF15T replica project and have read on how spectacular they are and was wondering if I had made a mistake when the one you originally chose was the newer V12. I’ve noticed most Benz engines after the mid 90s got “cheaper” vs the previous, “no expense spared” engines. I also own a M119 that is built like a tank and I’m proud to have acquired.👍

Your willingness to put in the hours is so impressive. I really love the Megasquirt platform for the software but the learning curve is an on-going adventure in personnel growth. You have a great eye to your final goal and putting your time into what is needed and not getting stuck in too many rabbit holes.

Hey! Last time I commented on your videos was pre-crazy car build. I just swapped an Audi 2.2 Turbo engine and its 5spd transmissions (swapped to rwd) into a 1999 Ford Ranger. Had to flip the axle upside down to get 5 forward speeds! I currently have a set of "reverse cut" gears waiting to be installed into my Ford 8.8 31 spline axle housing. Been hesitating worrying if they're compatible. They were meant for a Ford 8.8 front axle assembly. Until then, oh well! Plans are street/work/track truck. 400-500whp on pump gas 93 is the goal with a 62mm turbo feeding two 295/18 NT555 tires. Should be a quick little ranger. Anyways, love your projects. I'd drive this bad larry out there and help you with some big project sometime in the future! hahaha

First, let me congratulate you on starting and running a Merc V12 "in the wild". When you get the time, please feel free to share over here! Some of us do not do IG, FB and the rest. Two suggestions; next time you tackle headers try "pre running" with wire to help "envision' routing and developed lengths, and second, I would have built the header to first merge as assemblies for three cylinders. That said, you did bang up- custom headers for even a lowly 4 cylinder engine is a pain- this must have been excruciating! And the sonics you did achieve are just glorious! Can't wait for the first drive- stock those were 500 hp or better; with a third the weight and better air flow, this can exceed your driving skill level really quick! FR

I Hope it is not a 6:1 collector. Uh it is. 6:2:1 !! Equal length? Good enough. I love the pagani zonda 4 end pipes. And when I look at the car, it looks like there is space for straight headers like on a dragster. All pipes would be in a row ( 6 out, one or two back inboard) so aerodynamics would be a okay. I clears the ground effect channel between oil pan and wheels.

Wow always wanted to do that but was going to put 2 straight six 5MGE motors together to make a v12 5.6L but the work involved was too great. I think starting with a block (no matter how good/bad) saves so much time. Smart move!

Quality, craziness, technical stuff and comedy in one neat package as always 👍👍 I find so funny how everyone as soon as they look at a V12 Mercedes engine start mentioning Pagani here, Pagani there. You worked and modified 2 and never mentioned that once. This kind of honesty and focus is something completely lost today.

Came across this as a random recommendation. Subscribed after watching this. Very VERY Cool engine mod. Will be looking up past videos as well. Phenomenal detail to your components. I have always been a GM Big Block fan, and that engine sound is erotic.

What can you do with the castors is make up some plates and clamp down onto the rails fixing the castors clamping the rail between the plates via through-bolts, encircling the rail. Good temporary method. No holes.

Wesley.... I’m in PHX Metro area. Would be glad to lend a hand when needed. I’ve had a 120 powered Mercedes, a 275 and now a 279 powered car. Love those bent-12 engines.
