Mercedes-Benz has provided Jay Leno with a 6.2-liter V8 (M156) to put into his vintage 300SEL 6.3.
the M156 uses a traditional wet-sump setup, as opposed to the SLS’ M159, with its dry-sump lubrication system, bespoke internals and magnesium intake manifold. The M156 is used in many Mercedes-Benz AMG models, such as the S63, SL63 and E63 AMG. It’s only down 45 bhp from its gullwing sibling, putting out 518 hp rather than the SLS’ 563 hp

Aww… I love Jay. This makes me happy
So which car is the engine destined for? The 300SL Gullwing in the title, or the 300SEL 6.3 in the article. Two different cars, only one engine.
Hint: It ain’t the SL.
@Dave
You are correct, it’s the 300SEL. The title was wrong, but the article is still correct. Sorry about that
Please find that wallpaper off the hanging wall of jay???
