There is some changes to the wiring, exhaust manifolds, different radiator fan system and the ECU is the biggest change. A lot of the items from the M112 engine are interchangeable as the engine is only a cylinder on each side bigger.
I wonder if anyone has put together a list of everything done and needed done and price of each item, and when others ask same ?'s can just copy and paste in thread.
One thing that would be nice is camshafts at a descent price.
$1,800 to $3,600 is insane for 2 camshafts.
Then would give us options with a v6.
If cams available, balance rotating assembly, either a 3.7 block or 3.2 and punch out and run on the steel sleeves, then can use other pistons besides mb and have more options, bump compresion 10.5, port heads, valve job, cams, stainless headers etc.etc. etc.
And of course tune.
And have a fresh rebuilt engine with a pretty good pump in power and torque.
The price of even some cams is rediculous and what makes these engines pretty much a disposable vechicles and terrible depreciation.
Wayyyy to many limits.
Just my $.02
