My Neighbors C240 died while at the shop being diagnosed. from the description he had a low oil condition and it locked up at the shop. The Shop says it will cost 2500$ to replace his motor with a used one. So he asked if I could do it for less. "Sure, let me do some quick research"

I've done a few engine swaps in my time but not on any of the newer MB's. Are there any tricks or tips I need to be aware of? Any C240 specific cautionaries? Are there any C240 Specific tools that I will need to get this thing off the tranny and out of the car?

Are there any "while your at it do this" things that should be done?

Any one have a preferred used engine supplier?

Thanks
