Just the loaded block. Head and all related top end parts are in the trunk. I just bought it for the transmission for my other 300SDL. I plan on dropping a engine/trans from an 81 300SD (OM617) in it around November.

Glad you noticed!!!

I was telling Jimmy today that I think it was 7 mpg....but I forgot to reset my ScanGauge II; I believe I was getting about 14ish while traveling 70+mph. The sway only happens at about 74mph.....drive faster, no sway; drive slower, no sway.

I added Quadzilla's Max Mileage module this morning at my first stop. I drove a bit tonight after I dropped the trailer and the gauges are telling me I'm getting about 23ish mpg.

I had an opportunity to visit the Mercedes "mecca" in the Louisville, KY area. Here are some shots I took at Larry's place:
