Rebuilt Mercedes-Benz M117 6.0L AMG V8 Engine (Pre-Merger Legend)
Acquire a crowning masterpiece of automotive history: the fully rebuilt Mercedes-Benz M117 6.0L AMG V8 engine. Hand-built during the legendary pre-merger era when AMG operated as an independent elite tuning house, this ultra-rare powerplant represents the golden age of naturally aspirated German muscle. Showing only 4,000 miles of road use since a complete, professional bare-block overhaul, this collector-grade long block is the ultimate core for elite vehicle restorations, iconic AMG Hammer tributes, and high-end classic restomod projects.
To create this legendary displacement, AMG engineers aggressively modified the factory Mercedes M117 architecture, pairing a reinforced block with specialized high-flow cylinder heads to pump out an astonishing, high-torque power delivery. This engine has been meticulously disassembled, machined to flawless tolerances, and refreshed with premium OEM and AMG-spec internal components to ensure it sings with the unmistakable, deep V8 rumble that came to define the W126 and SEC supercar era.
