I've decided not to build headers for the W140, as it is just too much of a pain for such little benefit. The M120 will be coming out of the car soon, and onto the stand.

I can't say for sure. Flow rates are somewhat close. I don't know the difference in resistance values for them or the dead time.

I assume it would indeed run on the cheap LS truck injectors on...

I'm going to attempt to make a set for the W140 that the engine currently resides in, before pulling it out. The steering box is the biggest obstacle. Once the set is finished, I'll probably pull the...

I found someone that had some left in stock and ordered 4 flanges. Look for M104 flanges instead of M120 flanges. The M104 flange fits directly on the other head.

I've solved my spark plug and...

Smaller than 1.75" isn't economical enough for me to consider, as I wouldn't use the tubing or the tooling for anything else. The only way I could justify a smaller 1.625" diameter is if I had...

GM LS truck injectors with injector hats fit directly in place of the stock M120injectors, and are basically free. I had dozens of sets laying around that people were throwing away...

I'll probably skip dry sump due to costs. I'll baffle and trap door the wet sump pan and run an Accusump to cover situations where the oil pressure still has problems. This is considerably cheaper...

Or I can just convert to dry sump. Lots of OEM cars coming with dry sumps now so they're not too hard to find. I could fabricate a pan and pickup easily enough, especially if mid sump pans are cheap...
