I've got a major lob on for this Merc. The e430 v8  engine has been rebuilt by a company called vath and stroked out to 4.7 litres.

 

The internet recons this is the spec

 

Overbored about 1mm per pot. High compression pistons giving 11.5:1
Classic cylinder head machine work
sport camshafts
sport catalytic convertors
Reprogrammed ECU
 
 
 
This then makes 330bhp. That's a lot of work for an extra 55bhp over the normal E430's 275bhp!
 
The issue with this one is the engine was transplanted from another car into this. 
How do you prove it's not a standard 430?
It's probably 4.3 on log book m8
How do you even insure it without telling a bunch of porky pies?
 
Still would mind

I spoke to the guy about this . The engine transplant wasn’t logged on the v5 and all the paper work refers to the donor car.

To be fair the price of a decent 430 isn’t too far off this.

I wouldn't be that arsed about the insurance, it's essentially a 430 whatever happens, and you'd only get dry bummed if you told them of the mods.

The only guarantee you get with a vehicle of this age is that it won't run out of diesel before you leave the yard.

 

 

And the fact it's not actually MOT exempt?

From the description it would appear someone (Trigger?) savvy enough could get it for £2,750.
