Hello there, Question for you, since these are 560 heads, do the tri-y euro manifolds from the original 500 heads (with the smaller valves) fit on these? I had read the later head(1986+)with larger valves had slightly different exhaust ports than the earlier 5.0 variants from 78-85. Thanks in advance!
@mbheritage You’re welcome. I believe the 500SLC & 450SLC were rated at 240 HP, the early 500SLs were 228 HP/231 PS… all of them powered by M117 V8 engines but different variants.
@mbheritage I think there’s a minor error in the description; this vintage of 500SL would have been rated at 228 HP… 242 HP was the late 85-89 500SL, it came with the air intake that was found in the 560SL….It looks visually similar to that engine with black valve covers… GLWA Roy
@shervinator @avemaria Given the other Premerger AMG parts in my collection, I suspect your guesses are correct: Dreams and semirigid polyurethane
