My old W460 was 560 converted.. Fantastic machine but the gearing was wrong.. at take off it wanted to jump like a barking dog... Then at motorway speeds it was screaming..

I never managed to find a good way to get the diff ratios to an acceptable medium. Ended up selling and bought a G500.

I have since learnt that a srt of axles from a diesel W460 may have worked, but too late now!
