How's everyone doing? I have been without a computer for a few days. It got some nasty virus and I just got it back from the Geeks tonight. I enjoyed catching up on the thread.

Tech, my first car was a '69 Mustang that I bought in 1976. While mine was a Mach 1, I counldn't afford the 428CJ and had to settle for a 351 Windsor with a four speed. Modding the Windsor motor was very rewarding back then, so I got a 351 Cleveland from a junk yard and learned how to build a race motor. That was my first swap. I worked for the Super Shops back then which helped pay for parts at employee discount.

Just before my computer went psycho I did manage to buy a videa camera so i should soon have video up with sound this time. I am planning on taking the car to the North Texas Crossfire GTG this Saturday. I just hope I have time to wash it first.

On the SLK32 engine. It would make sense if you can get the engine cheap enough. You would still want the harness and ECU. The engine and harness can be SRT or SLK32, but knowing waht I know know, I believe the computer would have to be from an SLK32 and not an SRT. This is because the SRT ECU has a different part number than the SLK32 and the STAR DAS system probably won't recognize the SRT ECU since it was never used in a MB. You need DAS to recognize the computer inorder to code it to the car.

While I may now be fifty, I still like to dream as a teenager so here goes: Get a V6 Kompressor engine and sell the supercharger for a good price. In place of the s.c put on the n/a intake manifold and stick a turbo where the muffler is.
