Definitely a limited-slip rear in there. The link still works for me. Here's a direct link to an engine photo:
*http://tinyurl.com/bnerf *Here's the original link "tinyurled": *http://tinyurl.com/7dycj* Mauri had a similar engine (tweaked 606 turbo) in his 124 wagon and ran, IIRC, low 13's at a higher trap speed (117mph?). I asked if he had it dynoed, he said they couldn't get enough grip on the dyno rollers, but it was somewhere north of 450hp. He sold the car but kept the engine, plans to stuff it into a W201 and expects high 11's at 120-something (over 200kph). >From a DIESEL!! -Dave M. :) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 13:33:01 -0500 From: Loren Faeth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Baddest W123 ever (OM606 powered!) > > > I'm not sure the chevelle SS396 I had in HS could do that well.
