Thankyou for the information. I am aware of the kit you refer to. I was however, unable to find out from any other sources, other than the manufacturer how this combination performs. Do you know anyone who has actually installed this kit in a Mercedes? It is a considerble amount of money to invest in something that might be experimental. I don't want to be the first to find out. It appears to be a simple changover. The only real issue is the torque converter. This is something that was engineered by this manufacturer and I'm sure he won't give any specific information on this. The other concern is how the starter is mounted.....which is included in this kit.

Thanks again, Ray
