A 1960 300d is far older..

What can it hurt to call and ask?

Worst case, drop a used engine in.
Roy, I had already called him regarding info on the head for the 617.

The response was "We don't work on engines that old".

That's why I posted the info.

If Tarzana isnt too far away for you, id reccomend them... seems that Mr. MB Motors is THE place to go for work. There are a few threads on the shopforum about this ship.. with nothing but positive notes. I believe he works on older cars too.
