Auto Salvage Yard Alert!

My local upull and pay has a '98 E300 sitting in its premium section. I haven't gone to check it out but an engine is $500 flat out for it.

I hope it was rear ended or something and the engine is perfect. I may have to pull it and put it in my '87 .

An om606 would fit. Just need to swap over the IP and fab up an exhaust..

riiighhttttt

I guess no one here wants it. I guess I will have to venture on over during my hour lunch tomorrow and see if there is an engine there.

It's there. I need a pick up, cherry picker. And someone to help. I have no way of testing it until I get home. The car had no body damage which worries me. I should have looked under it to see if it crunched anything. Hopefully it only had transmission issues.

You guys think I should pull it?

Grab it while you can!

It should be a reasonably easy swap into the 87 W124 car, after all they did make some with the N/A 606...

All original W124 mounts/trans etc will line up and fit OK.

Your main issues are with the I.P. (the W210 E300 Turbodiesel has Electronic IP)--easily changed over to the eariler OM.603 pump.

The other issue will be the turbo that has a Vac operated / electronically controlled wastegate....
--Not sure if a 603 turbo will fit the (Awfull) 606 Turbo manifold.

It will be a fairly simple job to plumb up all the usual stuff....

Isnt there any way that you can get it running just to confirm its at least a runner?

How about any warranty offered by the yard...?

30 day warranty. So I'd have to get it home. Put oil in it and some how get it started. Currently trying to get a truck and engine hoist so I can bring it home and get it of the truck since it does weigh like 600lbs

Yup--Its a Big heavy chunk of engine...

Ive got one in a lady-friends garage, intention was to put it into the W123 Wagon one day.

Being made redundant put paid to that.....!

So--You have 30 days to get it home and find/fit a 603 pump and run it up.....

(Alternatively and NOT recommended you can carefully hand-throttle the electronic rack in the original IP if you remove its side-cover.....)

Well--As I said, You Could start it but you would have to hand-throttle the rack....

It would be pretty difficult to get a smooth even speed as the fuel-delivery from the IP is 'rising-rate' with speed for rack setting, hence the need for a governor...

--Should be good enough just to see oil-pressure and listen for horrid noises though....

now if it was a 606 for $500, I'd be on the road already.

Oh I misread that. It is a 606 for $500. Drool. PUT IT IN THE 87 and do THIS ALL DAY LONG http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXuwLfHKorw

Engine hoist found for Sunday, I might have my room mates truck if not guy with the hoist has a truck I can use. I have the removal procedures. And all I need now is just hope and pray no one pulls it before me because I'm to have to go grab it Sunday

Bolts for engine stand: length and thread please! I have a 1000lb stand from harbor freight that might do the job.

Also, how do I put the transmission in neutral if I do not have a key for the car?
