buying new engine for my e420 where could I find a used M119
 

So as some of you know, my engine is pretty much shot. So, im might be buying a rebuilt M119. Where can I find one? Theres a couple on ebay, but, one i dont trust ebay, and two are the genuin M119s? Any one selling one?

Rebuilt: Performance Products
Used: wrecking yards

performance products? where is that? web site? ect ect...

What year is your car? Why not drop a 5 litre motor in? Its all the same, intake exhaust etc. I have always wanted to do that.


Even the fuel computer is the same (I used to have a 500E with a Renntech Ecu, and to get it to pass NY emmissions we would put a 400E computer in the car- ran fine)

There are plenty of 5 litre engines out there, try car-parts.com

The M119's are well known to be a robust engine. May I ask what happened ?

lots of things, warped head gasket, very very loud knocking (check my other thread) and 190k miles.lol hmmmmm i might just think about putting a 500E engine in it.

Doesn't need to be a 500E engine. 500SL engine or 500SEL engine, they are all pretty similar, whatever is cheapest and best.

what years of engine should I be looking for? cause I found a '91 500SL engine with 57,000miles for $4500

Try Potomac German Auto, 'Potomac Pat' is a member here.

You need a '93 or later engine with LH fuel injection and before they went to coil on plug ignition, don't ask me when that was on a 129 SL or 140 SEL/SEC, you'll need to do your research, probably '96.
