I would question the transmission. I don't know if you need to keep the transmission from the 603.961 or whether you can use the trans from the W140.
I wouldn't give him $5K for that vehicle without an engine, that's for sure. I think it's worth about $2K at most. Anyone seriously contemplating replacing that engine with the proper engine is looking at about $8K to $10K. Nobody in their right mind would do this.

C'mon, a good bodied '86-87 SDL w/bad engine is worth $2k.
What do you need to do other than replace the con-rods, the head gasket, etc?
Doesn't sound all that expensive. (wait, plus the liners, or 1st over work) If I didn't already have an SDL to rebuild and a garage to build, I'd jump all over it. I'd love a w140 diesel.
