[QUOTE="ATX780, post: 442654, member: 3201"] We looked into the mercedes engines but there were a few reasons why we didn't go that route: - the cost of the AMG engines - the amount of HP that you could get was it - not being able to build it futher without spending major $$ and sending it off - the programming that would be required to make it run properly (based off of what we were told) - parts availability and cost Trust me, we wanted to go that route. As a matter of fact, Clydes dad owns a mercedes shop that adjoins the SpyderOffroad shop. As far as the engine that's in it right now, it's a built LS 6.0 - but there are plans already in the works to go to a bigger motor - would like to go to a 427 or an LSX454. That why I built the drivetrain the way I did - to handle more HP. But right now, I just want this thing to run and drive... And I'll swap motors sometime later. [/QUOTE]
