The problen is that the inner driver side guide breaks due to age and a floppy chain that's worn, ie has stretched, killing the engine.

Thanks. That pretty much tells me what I need to know. There is a really nice 82 380SEL for sale in Phoenix for $,.200.00. Silver with black. Good paint, incredibly a perfect uncracked dash. Claim of only 80K miles. Might be a well treated SoCal car. But the likelyhood of having to do a chain conversion makes it unfeasible.
