Was able to run up and get my spare engine on the trailer ready for delivery. Most of the external parts came of the donor engine, like the turbo A/c etc when I put this engine into the white 85 I had. Put around 5k on it before I stripped the transmission pump, pulled the engine out and scrapped the car. Engine has been sitting in the back of one of my rover since, about 3 years.

Unfortunately, I did not know about using seat belts for lifting the engine, and scratched up the finish on the valve cover when I installed it. I know better now.

This motor has less than 10k miles on it at this point.

Going to it's new owner this coming Saturday.

I'll just say that buyer got the best deal in peach history.

I'm just glad its going to a forum member.

Engine is available again. Someone must need this. Else I may just try and put it in my houseboat.

Best deal in history and he did not bite?? What is wrong with him or the engine?

Is what it is. Never going to fault someone for changing their mind. It happens. But the Engine is available again and will be unless I happen across a decent w123 needing a engine and decide to just drop it in and sell as a whole.

If the price changed since last time you quoted me, PM me. I am on the hunt for a good 617, I wasn't in a good financial state the last time I asked.

LOL, sorry. It's at 1500 right now.

This thread should be moved over to the correct for sale section.

I need to move a boat and have a marine survey done so I'm letting motor go cheap if you act now.
