Pagani uses Mercedes engines, don't they? and they go pretty fast.
And if you really want to get crazy, I have a spare 1971 6.3 MB M100 engine sitting around with nothing to do. Karl Middelhauve built one of those to over 600hp and ferocious torque a year or two ago. |
Hi, yes, you may be right that sticking with the EFI and remapping the ignition is likely to produce equivalent hp to the webers. Plus, installation of webers will absolutely require reground cams and who knows what the best ramp/profile would be for those. Was really only thinking of the webers for visual appearances sake. Will need to think on it a bit more!
The 6.3 is certainly an impressive beast! Now that would be the engine to put some webers on! Thanks!
