Mercedes 560sec LS1 4l60E M122 blown
The latest addition to the Hybrid conversion world. An 86 560sec with a 99 ls1 4l60e. On the top is mounted a gt500 blower, and in the rear it has a Ford 8.8 IRS LSD from a mark VIII. This Is actually the second time around on this project, as I had it finished and painted (thus the black bumpers and hood) last year, but with a title problem it was time to get a different car to start with.

Tthe axles were made to accept the ford inners and the mercedes plunge Rzeppa outers. The stock subframe was modified to accept the 8.8 and the stock rear lincoln mount was used to hold it in hte back. I think that the weak point in the rear will be the outer stub spline for the Mercedes which is only about 1.25" long.

Thank you very much, it should be better once it is painted and sorted. Building the car the second time around sort of takes the fun out of it, but at least I had the parts to build it.

I bought a manifold from magnacharger and adapted the blower to it. Good luck getting one now, as it seems that magnacharger is not selling the proprietary manifold now. Even so it may have been easier to make a manifold from scratch. I will be doing that for the Datsun 260z that i have another M122 for.
