Frankenstein L-series/MB twin cam head

Recommended Posts

I sold my ZXT a long while back and kinda got out of the game...but I feel the call beckoning me back.

 

This time I want to build a Frankenstein L, I remember someone started the Merc-Benz twin cam research project but I can't find his posts.

 

Does anyone remember or know hoow to find him?

a lot of the stuff is pretty close.  head bolt holes are pretty damn close, and you could probably make it work just by offset drilling the MB head holes closer together  (side to side, not front to back, obviously).  The only other major hurdle is the thrust bearing location.  Merc has it betwen cyl 4 and 5 and L is between 3 and 4.  Not insurmountable, but just to give you an idea of what you will be dealing with.
