My son has blown a rod in his 1977 Mercedes, this car is in beautiful condition inside and out, it's a GREAT car and we need to find another engine for it. Any help in locating an engine would be appreciated.

Sorry about the engine - that sort of unexpected problem is the worst.

I don't have much experience here, but I thought I'd forward a couple of links that might be useful:
-www.adsitco.com
-I've never ordered from these guys but they have rebuilt 240D motors for $3000
-www.pgauto.com
-This company is big for a wrecker, I've ordered from them and they are reliable. They have a used '78 240D motor for $1500
-www.thebenzbin.com

What will probably turn out to be your biggest resource are the responses here on the site. Check with partsshop on this site - they may be able to source something for you.

Good luck,

Nick

Hi, I believe JRBrown mistakenly provided the incorrect web site address for Potomac German Auto (PGA). The correct address is:www.benzparts.com. Their toll free phone nr. is 800-831-8901. I'm one of their regular customers. Ask for Brian, he's very helpful. And, good luck with getting your sons M-B back on the road.
