So do you have a 280SL? If so, there are lots, and I mean lots, of used engines around. What kind of knock do you have? 54K is very early for one of these engines to give up.

Might be a 380 that had an engine swap, some 2.8 with a lot of miles.

Or a euro 280 SL that had a trunk badge swap.

Yeah - a few months back I ran into one. A 74 350SL some one swapped a 500sl badge on. The guys on this forum were kind enough to point that out to me when I posted some questions on it. But shouldn't he have seen that on the title when he bought it? If he posts his vin it would help. Myself, I'm looking for a 560 badge set for my 280 for those nights I go to opera.
