The dead motor we pulled from my dad's SD (had 313k on it) died belching oil out the dipstick....it still ran, but leaked oil and burned oil all over the place. (huge clouds) Haven't opened it up for a look yet....oh, and it had about 20hp or so, it could barely get up the driveway with the pedal to the floor! 
New motor is awesome though. Its got some sick power!!! It will pull past 90-100 with EASE.
It was a factory MB replacement (into a car with 161k on it when it was pulled) (we cleaned it up and found the factory rebuild tag on the block), so it probably has less than 90k on it. Amazing. Paid $550 for it!!!
