1978 Mercedes 450SEL 6.9 w116

Too heavy?

Oh man - that looks awesome. I like the wood-rimmed wheel too.. Ah frig. So sad though.

Can't see why not. throw a Iron Duke in it and you're good to go.

It would be blasphemous to remove that 6.9.

Sure, but it would make more sense to SELL that 6.9 and buy a shitload of iron dukes. WHEN the first one blows up, replace it... and so on ;)

Or install a second one. There must be enough space under that vast hood.

I bet you could fit three of them under that bonnet, and a few more in the boot, problem is.. how do you hook them up to the driveshaft?

You don't. You use them as generators, powering one large electric motor which is connected to the driveshaft.

YOU SIR.. Genius.. I.. yeah.. just pure genius :)
