        its not red

        the chevy family hauler/boy hauler is getting tired and I dont wanna rebuild the engine and trans (again)

        I hate/love that truck but I ain't gonna do all that plus whatever else it most likely needs. 230k miles on that guy.

        so I got something with basically the same miles on it and much more expensive to maintain to replace it

        2008 w221 s550 with the m273 with a ripe 190k on the clock

        Car was previously owned by my client who put crazy highway miles on it. we went through everything on this car as it was needed so it's a good car

        best engine Mercedes made for non amg cars

        Fresh paint, fresh tire shop wheels and tires

            Sounds fun buying cars from clients. Especially if they just dumped a bunch of money into all the maintenance items, and you know EXACTLY what was done to it. Also, done to your own standards.

            Anyway, slick car. Paint looks good from over here. Might need some silver wheels though, brother.

              It's nice. These guys all have stupid money and they really don't care what they get for it. I pass on most of them, but if it's really clean and I can use it. fudge it.

              Yeah just came out of paint a month or two ago

              i'm the only one who worked on it outside the dealer.

              Been servicing it for 8 years. I kinda like the black wheels but yeah black on black usually aint it

              I'm not trying to spend money to modify this car, just gonna keep it working the way it should.

              I lowered it tho but that's free (air suspension )

                          I guess it's a good time to do a V2 of this car. It's a good time for me anyways since nothing is really a project rn.

                          I need this thing to be quicker... ITBs, 2.8/9L, a cam and some headwork- oh and HD rockers

                          200whp should be pretty achievable.

                          Is this the boy version of making a small problem a bigger one?

                            Yes

                            but please do, the world needs more stroker m20s.

                            Sucks the IE Mahle 2.9L pistons dried up, as they were the clear winner out of what was available.

                            If you're doing headwork and have to order custom pistons, start with an s52 crank IMO.

                                yeah sucks that is NLA

                                might keep it simple and do a 2.7 and deck the block (eta crnak, rods, i pistons -2mm deck)

                                plus itbs, should be making pretty solid power

                                I feel like I can do that for relatively cheap. I got my buddy who has a 60k mile eta long block he was going to give me for free.

                                hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

                                Idk what are good setups nowadays when going with an s52 crank
