Crazy W126 engine conversion
« on: 28 October 2008, 10:55 AM »
How's this for an engine conversion on a W126?
However, I think they pushed it a bit hard as there's some flameage there... Shocked

It certainly is.  Cool

Here's the Link to the album in its entirety. You can see the under-bonnet fire in some of the pics, or at least that's what I assumed it was anyway.
Just as a side note, there was also a Ford explosion in there too. Shocked

It looks like it should be photoshopped, but that's the real deal.

That's interesting about the throttle plates, but in some shots they appear to be partially open. Who knows, but that car was at the event in that state. Absolutely mad. Cool
