Hi Pedro I'm not sure on the mercTrans but I know how to mod the bmw auto Trans to use paddle shift it just requires 2 wires so I suspect the merc Trans is from the same supplier so maybe it's similar does anyone know the model of merc autotrans

I don't know. What transmission did Pagani use ? That would definitely work

Not only are they good values , this is the same engine used in the original pagani Zonda. It sounds like a formula 1 car.  And the best part  if you buy a whole car is you can keep the drivetrain and resell just a few expensive parts and recover your purchase price and even make money . There are numerous parts on these cars that quickly sell for $300-600 each used

What transmission automatic and standard could you use for that engine?

Wow, those ARE good values. They have the 6.0l V12 making 389HP. Gas mileage is an impressive 12 MPG combined! ;)

Please let us know the specific model(s) you are referring to Tusabes. I am very interested. Mercedes made several models with V12s between those years but I can't find any that typically sell for less than $6,500.

Yeah the Mercedes v12 from 1993-2002 is the closest supercar sounding engine

And its super cheap too . You can find complete cars under $3000
Always better to get the whole car as you need lots of the electronics associated with it

I had a corvette engineer  tell me several years ago, that intake design will greatly affect what the engine will sound like.

You may be right about that my friend...im using the lingenfelter crank conversion with beefed up valvetrain and cam, i love the advantage of having more energy applied to my wheels versus turning the crankshaft and the quicker and higher revving. i read that the flat planed cranks advantage over cross planed is that it doesnt use heavy counterweights and the exhaust scavenging is mucho better due to the exhaust pulses making it more responsive wich i love. a cross plane gives a smoother delivery but the counterweights use more energy because theres more heavy rotating mass so the end result is a flat planed crank delivers more power to your wheels versus power lost in turning a heavier cross planed crank,  and theres a significant difference in the sound and performance.. will keep you posted with pics were just starting on it.  ::thumbup

180* headers on a flat plane crank should sound closer to a normal V8, as it will cancel out the effects of the flat plane exhaust pulse and scavaging effect. The purpose of 180* headers is to produce the effects of a flat plane crank on a 90-180-90 cross plane engine like the original LS crank. So it should sound great with the new crank and firing order, without special 180* headers!  It will be a cool engine when complete. Did you have to get a custom cam?
