I'm glad I was finally able to find the right place to research these cars and more importantly...the engines.

My signature shows my current diesel powered vehicles/equipment, but I DEFINITELY plan on adding a diesel powered Mercedes to the stable.
I plan on doing a lot of searching and research to determine which cars Mercedes sold here in the USA have the strongest engine and drivetrain...this way I'll be able to buy a car that has the best platform to start with. I eventually would love to have a 400bhp Mercedes I6 engine.
Best regards,
Matt
P.S. Even though I am a "Heinz 57" American mutt with a mixed heritage, I'm ~25% Finnish!
