I used to find the 617 engines at the pullapart yards every time I went there. Not anymore.
I know a guy who bought up high performance engines when the gas crises hit. Years later he's making a killing selling these engines. It's getting tougher to find a Mercedes diesel in a junk yard.
If down the road you change your mind I'm sure you won't have a problem selling a 617 even with those miles.
