I loved watching the video of the newest running V8 in Germany. I couldn't help notice that is was a n/a engine and started on the first crank. you can actually almost see the key get turned! I sure hope they will give me a clue on how to do that.
Lantana you and Jimmy I commend you for doing this yourself, if it was 10 to 20 years earlier in my life I would probably have a hemi in the car instead of a AMG 5.5. and do the work myself. Yes it does take guts to pull the perfectly good engine out and put something in the car, that hasn't really been done to an extent of everybody knowing what to do. Over the years I have changed all my own engines, but now I even have other people change my oil, showing my age, HUH. For anybody that has done this with the 5.5 or the hemi great job keep up the good work Jim
