Default V8 Conversion

I have finally completed my Mercedes S500 V8 engine conversion ,it has taken quite a while to do and after getting my modified ecu from Josh Chase with his finishing touches on a computer link yesterday morning UK time we successfully got it running.I cannot recommend and thank Josh enough for his hard work and staying power yesterday.
If anyone is looking for a v8 conversion Josh is the man to get in touch with.
I would also like to give a big thank you to Jimmy Pro for all his help and advice.

Maybe Josh can figure out a way to repair, replace or get rid of the SKREEM module, there is money to be made there.
After all, how hard can it be?

Good idea, but I don't think Josh is interested in us anymore.
However, Padget down in Orlando might be able to pull it off.
Here's a proposal :
I'll happily donate $50 to him via paypal if 10 others will sign up to do the same.
A little incentive and expense coverage might help.
Padget, what do you think ?

Actually, Josh posted on Facebook a few days ago, asking if anyone would contribute to the cause.

He needs a working SKREEM, ECM and key from a junked car. Several guys responded to his post.
