My coupe 230 4 cylinder motor is essentially a lost cause.
Available to me is a W123 280 engine transplant and EVERYTHING I might need to make the whole exercise worthwhile.I just need to ensure that I ask the seller for all the necessary bits and pieces.
The seller is a good bloke, and is happy to help me with this project.
We live $200 shipping distance apart - I'm hoping for a one wrapped pallet purchase.
I'm no Mechanic, but am ready to request the COMPLETE 280 motor, gearbox & driveshaft.
Please advise what else I might need so that I can avoid otherwise severe 'Darn I also need those bits' frustration.
I might even give this transplant a go myself - last time for me was about 25 years ago (English 1972 Ford Transit van V4 to V6).
I know you US guys have limited knowledge of the W123 230 motors, but am hoping that forum lurkers may also be able to chime in with some help here.
Cheers,
Dennis
