Re: V8 Crossfire Conversion Diary
schricks is the oem supplier for Mercedes benz, the cams in your crossfire are made by them. I know they make a higher lift cam for your v8. but since they are made for oem cars I don't think they will change your overlap, due to emissions regs, mabe I'm wrong, ask HDDP he has the specs from what I remmember and he can get a racers discount.

You will have to get the ph number from HDDP, he's done the leg work already. I doubt they have options for overlap, but maybe they can custom grind something.
Getting info from the MB forums is like pulling teeth over there, jeezus, here you are, go nuts! http://www.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2026419 it's a bit of a dead end.

Re: V8 Crossfire Conversion Diary
Here are some new pictures of the motor. I would have liked to have done more, but since this is still an unproven idea I have to keep costs down. As you read ealier, I washed the engine down to remove some aluminum oxide and then painted it with clear engine enamel. I did the same to the valve covers except I painted them Silver. I bought a kit off of Ebay that dresses up the stock engine cover. Let me know what you think! The new exhaust manifolds are on and if you compare these to what is currently in your Crossfire you will see that the stock exhaust will bolt up.
I really believe this engine has extreamly low miles. When I did the car fax it came back as 147 miles which I didn't believe. When I removed the valve covers everthing was pristine like it was just assembled even the inside of the valve cover didn't even have any oil stain discoloration.

Denon Performance $1,599 without racers discount... $1,399 with racers discount...
