It has all Service Books since new, Religously serviced at HBL in Tysons Corner, VA.

I can get it for a song because it has the infamous bent rod syndrom, It was burning a ton of oil. The dealer told the owners they needed a new engine, they then took it to a friend of mine, non Dealer MB only mechanic, and after pulling the head he said the cylinders look like footballs. so the engine really is a total loss. it was running strong when he pulled the head but was burning oil like it is being poored into the intake.

Question I have is can I put a 603 3.0L out of either 87 300D or 86-89 300SD in this car, because isn't the 350 just a stroked 300? I know there is a slight power loss but i can handle that.
