Hey John if you want to turn that engine the best way is with a 22mm or a 15/16 deep socket in the center of the front hub is really the way to go, especially with a 1/2 ratchet and a piece of pipe for a cheater. Don't push to hard, if it is stuck you will just break more stuff.

This sounds very much like how my '83 300sd, which fits the description of yours very well actually, behaved many years back -- though it never got to the nosedive stage, only horrible sounds as you described.
I tried to limp home but lost my nerve and had it towed. In my case I had had enough of the car at that point, it had numerous other issues, and I called a friend who wanted it. (I simply assumed the behaviour was a major engine mechanical failure.) He listened to it further and diagnosed the noise as coming from the injection pump. He installed a rebuilt pump and the car runs and drives today. He is trying to sell it back to me, actually. So hang in there.
