[QUOTE=Nate Stanley;2372671]After a couple of years, I finally found an engine and tranny for my 300SD.

Special thanks to Charmalu for finding it AND helping me pull it from a PNP.

Car had 156K, hit in rear. I just did a cold compression test, all cyls between 320 and 380, timing chain stretch is 4 degrees. Valves were all in spec if a little loose. There is evidence that oil changes were regular enough, it was clean under the valve cover. ALDA was not touched.

FHow much for an Engine in KALIFONYA?
is it like fleabay prices?A third more or twice as much because its in KALIFONYA?

just curious,usually see running parts cars for 500 here in the swamp.
