Start with the service manual CD for about 30$ and read up on the engine job. That will give you an idea of some of the things you are facing. Price a head gasket kit and be prepared to buy a few special tools.
Success with a mercedes valve job comes from attention to detail and being willing to spend the money on the right things. Line up a qualified machinist, one that has worked on mercedes heads before and lots of them.
As for the rear, put it on a lift and take a look. Start with the rubber donuts that connect the drive shaft ends to things. Plenty of other rubber mounting bits down there.
