R8 V8 with ITB , a Version with RS4-Intake (S6 or S8 for the V10) is possible too ; then it Maybe would clear the Hood . Notice the Space in Front - the Engine is very short - V10 should be around 92mm longer - no Problem .

Mercedes M120 V12 - like the Base for the Pagani Zonda - Frame-Mods needed .

No , i think ist Hyder´s Car . He has it in running State - i canceled the R8-Engine and the M120-V12 before to go the boring LS3-Route - only to complete the Car an get it Street-legal .

The R8 V8 had Plenty of Room to the Firewall , so the V10 would fit in the Standard Frame without Mods i think . Intake / HP-Pumps sits very High , you need to reverse the Intake with the TB to the Front (a lot of work , not symmetrical) and have a ugly Hump in the rear Clam (or ITB it) ...

I would be interested too..

OK - thanks - that Thread is easy to find.. ;)

I was looking for a specific Thread too and didnt find it - it was the one where a Builder used a manial Steering-Column instead the electric one - does anyone know who it was ?

The Stock Oilpan of the M120 is sitting below Tarmac in the SL-C - you have to dry-sump it . The Length is approx 100mm too long for the SL-C - i had to cut out the Chassis for it and build Custom Frame-Rails . After that the Driveshafts still have a few Degrees to the Back , the Tank needs to...

Nice ! Thats looking like the Flux-Capacitor from "Back to the Future" ;)

I think theres no Problem , had much to do with VR6/R32 in the Past - and they are very compact - i binned all the Stuff i had before i move into my new Shop so i cant test / measure it . Length- and Width-wise should be no Problem - only the Height with the stock Intake can cause some Problems...

Thanks - going Step by Step in the right Direction... ;)

I had no Problems with my SL-C , no Delay , very good Packaging , getting a detailed Packing-List with every Part photagraphed on a Stick incl. Name Table in each Pic to verify that its no random Pic . Every single Question was answered by Fran or Dean , Communication is good . Some small Parts...

Im using the M120 in Combination with the R8-Gearbox - i have the 3-Valve m137 here too - but its some cm longer and has a lot of Compromises - the M120 is the better Engine in my Eyes . Im Fitting it in the next few Weeks - then i see what Problems im facing beside the Length of the Engine . Im...

Im building an Mercedes V12 SL-C - some Major Mods are needed , its in Progress - i post some Pix when ist roughly done..

As long as you definetaly know which Engine you choose you can do a lot of Things on the Car before you need it - but i prefer to have everything together - you never know , sometimes small Things are adding to Problems when you cant test it before...

I´m in the Line and would buy one as a Daily-Driver beside the SL-C .

Weighed the Box , its approx 100kg incl. 4WD-Shaft and Oil-Cooler-Piping .

Sad News out of my German "Neighbourhood" - talked to Tom a few Weeks ago regarding my SL-C Build - hope he makes a fast , full Recovery - Condolences to the Family of the Passenger..
