pearl black 1983 240d 4speed (Converted!@$$%) atleast the tranny was rebuilt.

Half now (to cover fuel), other half on completion + room & board and I'm all over that.

Youll need a good engine hoist with load leveler ,that really improves things when taking the motor out and sending the new in.

yup, got the hoist and leveler.

email me if anyone is serious.

Im seriously thinking about taking this up. I would fly down there, i couldnt put that much tear on my 240d. (especially with diesel being 5$ a gallon) It would probibally only take me two or three days all together to do the swap with the proper tools.

WOW, you are brave... cervan, that is a really nice offer. (by the way... your avitar is sure topical right now... I sure will miss him)
I am a HECK of a lot closer, but I don't have the time. I hope you find somebody close enough to swap it over for you.
if you have the tools, you can do it yourself it's not that hard.

true, but I don't have all the tools and I work.
My wife has been in poor health and I just haven't had the time or energy to do it myself and now my lease is up in august on the car I drive to work everyday.

I also need it done correctly be someone who is familiar with the car and has done it before or something very similar. If I did it, I would forget something and a weekend job would turn into months of troubleshooting.
