Step 1: Take one of these:
Step 2: Add in one of these:
Step 3: ????
Profit?
Or HUUUUUGGGEEE loss.
But it sounds like a fun project. It would just ruin your bank account.

If you found one with a blown engine it probably wouldn’t be too prohibitively expensive.

Would be amazingly fun regardless.

but the v12 sounds sooo much better

Mhmm imaginative.

V12 in that car doesn’t exactly sound like much if I’m being honest, but admittedly, the SL600 doesn’t make much of a racket until you really get into it (really starts to sing above 3000rpm).
Makes decent power, but not much noise.

back when i was flipp’in cars I picked up a 96 850, for 2500 at auction. engine was shot. guy who bought it did a 350 swap. so yeah go for it!

Compromise: swap for Jag V12, for better parts availability. Why yes, I am insane.

Take the supercharged LSA out of one of these, it deserves a better looking body.

Or swap in the V6 from the RLX...
Or the V8...

Might as well use an 840i as the donor car and not an 850CSi. Can add the CSi aero bits if inclined.

HOW TO MAKE A GERMAN CAR RELIABLE and FAST:
Add LS.

standard yeah it might not make much noise, throw on a decent exhaust for more power and better noise

I wouldn’t want to toss that much money at that specific car. It’s expensive enough just keeping them on the road, once you start modifying it, the expense goes up from there.

II’m sorry to say that I have but one star for that comment. Literally LOL’d at that!

just a simple exhaust would be much cheaper than a whole new engine and management system to run it

Having tried searching for a simple exhaust for my SL600 and remembering the results, this isn’t surprising me. Cheaper than a whole new engine and management system? I’m not so sure.

That is a much better and quite splendid idea.
