If you can price it for that (or a 3.0L block on the 3.5L head), then no issues. If you just buy it because it is cheap, thats asking for issues...

I live in Long Island, NY and there's several 200kish 350d's going for under 5k in "good" condition. Obviously not perfect, but not terrible. Preferably I think I want to wait for an early 90s 300d but saw a couple 350d's' and thought maybe if there's a way to verify the engine has been rebuilt by MB than it could be a good deal.
