Hi Richard,
Thanks for the link. Nice videos and pictures! In their "Motorsport" section have some photos of a racing white Pagoda.
Yes, the engine is really modified... in fact it's the complete engine of a current MB 320: a 3200cc V6 with 224 HP. I think the transmission is also a current automatic gearbox. We saw this "experiment" in the Techno Classica Essen (Germany), last April, and -apart from questions of originality- it's very well finished.
