But remember reading some where or was it some one mentioned welding of the chassis makes it illegal?Hope TS did that.
I read abt a guy ripping the chassis of a Merc W124 after transplanting a 5.0 V8 into the engine bay within 1 week. At first i tot its because the chassis is old as w124 do comes with 5.0 V8 in overseas market so it can handle a V8...closer look on the engine he transplanted makes me understand why....its a modern merc V8 so its producing more twisting force..i dont recall if its an AMG V8 which makes more sense as chassis is torn within a week.
