The moustache bar is flipped in a 280z Also the orientation of the front brace and the front mount must also be correct.

Maxima N47 is a nice upgrade for a 240z engine. @madkaw has one for sale. Or you could grind an E88 stamp to read E33 and tell people it is a rare racing head.

Cams are tough. I rescued this one and it is in my 77:

The head ID is just between the #1 and #2 spark plug holes. Here is an E88:

Sadly 147 has been stored like a bottle of wine ~150km away. I have not had a good look-see ever. When I opened the hood and saw those joint-like sections and the racing aspects, I figured it had the front 1/8th replaced. I'll have to scrape the paint and look for blue under that beautiful copper ?

Well after a 2nd look it may just be a weird reinforcing rib added rather than a joint? I can't wait to strip it down!

Maybach HL42 TUKRM came to Japan during WWII in Sd.Kfz. 251. Not Mercedes but OHC I6 worth noting:

Don't be fooled. The front from the wheel well forward was spliced in. OK 2026... what day should I pen on my Calendar? ?

Remember Kammy's Red Hand of Power image? @kammy

Can I send you 147 shell after you finish?

No luck from the Mercedes Museum and Archive BUT as the Hoover vacuum continues to pull data: Daimler Benz did have licences agreements with Aichi Kokuki KK starting in 1936. Aichi began making copies of the famous DB600 Inverted V12 (ME-109) at the Atsuta Engine Plant in Nagoya....and Aichi was an engine manufacturer for Nakajima Aircraft Company. Part of Nakajima became Fuji Precision Industries (Engine Manufacturer) in 1946 which later merged with its customer, Prince Motor Company, in 1954. So now have evidence of licence agreements for German Aircraft Engines to Japan that connect Daimler Benz to Prince through a line of engine manufactures! Next to find automobile engine agreements.
