Crazy W126 engine conversion

[TJ 450]

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...

F*kn DOPE!!!

Is that a Perth bred conversion??

[TJ 450]

It certainly is. 

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.

I really must be jaded...  I was convinced that was Photoshopped!

[TJ 450]

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

note throttle plates on intake.  closed = not really running = not real

MAD!!!!!

[TJ 450]

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.
