Hi,

I have a low millage 1987 420 SEL with an engine that have to be replaced.

Apart from another 1987 4.2 engine, what else can I instal in that car that would link with the original transmission?

Would a 420 engine from another year or a 560 engine fit well?

Can I install a turbo diesel engine in there and what else would I have to replace to make it work?

Thanks

Christian

Any year 4.2 engine will work as well as the 5.6 engine.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick and relevant answer.

Do you know if it would be possible to install a t-diesel engine in that car?
