Urgent: Anyone in central IL want a parts car?

So I'm in the middle of a cross-country road trip and my 300sd died a horrible death. Bearings are shot or some such - I don't have time for a complete diagnosis, but it is certainly going nowhere...

Thanks for the specs, Beagle. I actually was able to get the bolt and pin off a parts car this morning so I'm all set there.

Vacuum pump pin & bolt part #?

I think you'd be better off just adding an actuator to the driver's door lock. That'll activate all the others, and you should have an easier time running the wiring for various features you may want...

I noticed recently that sometimes at idle my auxiliary fan would come on even though the temp gauge only read ~85. Figuring at least one of the two sensors must be wrong, I went ahead and replaced...

There's more than one size heat shield? I used whatever Fastlane sells; they looked identical to the old ones (here (http://img.eautopartscatalog.com/hires/W01331643266REI.JPG?width=300&height=300))....

Oil leaking at base of injector

Thanks for the advice. It's a ~36 foot boat, and the current Westerbeke is 25HP so I assume anything around that would be okay. It's good to hear the transmission might be reusable on another engine....

No, like I said, I pulled mine from a 500SEL with reclining seats and put them in my 300SD. You should be fine. I think sixto was referring to replacing the entire seat back.
