Description

This week, the Carmudgeons welcome special guest Matt Kwiek, mastermind of numerous outrageous Mercedes engine swaps.

Matt helped Derek swap the engine in Derek's Holy Grail purple ("Bornite") S124 E320 dogleg-manual wagon from a 3.2-liter to a freshly built 3.6-liter from a W202 C36 AMG.

The swap happened at Jason's warehouse with the help of his Bendpak lift — and the motor is a straight drop-in. Easy work for Matt Kwiek, who built a reputation for custom engine swaps in older Mercedes.

The Carmudgeons both spent time driving Matt's white C126 500SEC, which features a 5.4-liter M113 (from an S55 AMG) and computer-controlled 722.6 5-speed automatic transmission.

Part of the Hagerty Podcast Network, the Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter. Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 300 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.
