Do you know the model number of the engine? In the current crop of Mercedes engines, the smaller engine can be rated up to either 300 or 330 hp. A dealer could probably up-rate yours (for a price) that would keep any warranty in effect.

If so, who makes it and where can I get one?
Thanks
Be sure and check the cooling capacity you will need vs. what you have! That's what keeps the CAT 3126 from being uprated a lot of times. In boats with unlimited cooling it can go to 450+ hp, but in Rv's it limited to 330 or maybe 350 (C-7) but still with 860 ft lbs torque.

From http://www.detroitdiesel.com/engines/mbe900/performance.aspx :
Power to Pull
When it comes to acceleration, the MBE 900 is extremely versatile compared to other engines in its class. Available ratings range from 190 HP/520 lb-ft to 350 HP/860 lb-ft. The MBE 900 can power any Medium-duty application.
Probably any big truck dealer can handle the engine as it would be an option in most Pete's, KW's, Freightliners, etc. I know the local Freightliner dealer has at least three M2's sitting on the lot with MBE's in them.
