Black- 1994 Mercedes E320
Hello from Wa!
Greetings from the PNW. I'm pretty new to the world of Domestics. I've been a European car addict forever.... Ever since I lost out on a DZ302 Camaro in 1986...
On to my story. I have a 1994 Mercedes Benz station wagon that I was going to mod and swap in a late model Mercedes 5.0L V8... it'll be easy I told my self. Not really...
I've been going to more and more rod events and started talking to some people in the know... We decided to do an LS swap instead...
I'm still in the research phase and I thing I found an engine to use...
6.0 from a Suburban... need to research the things to look out for and to go with.
I'll start a build thread as I get closer to starting.
Jason

Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited about getting this moving.
I have the original running gear out of the car... I'd like to get a mock-up block and trans to get started on the motor mounts.

Black & Blue- '02 WS.6 / '07 Suburban
Welcome to the site! The 6.0 is a strong motor, it'll move that Benz quite well. Strongly recommend that you invest in a GM LS swap manual -- check out Amazon.com and you'll see a couple offered.
