77 240D - Memorial

Lorelai's engine has gone to the big oil bar in the sky. I'm looking for the most cost effective place to get a replacement engine for her. Does anyone have any suggestions? She has 616.912.

CraigsList, junk yards, EBay and other places that people advertise their excess inventory and parting out efforts are the best places to start. If you're patient you'll come up with a good option.

Don't overlook the option of dropping a turbo 617 in there as well...if you have access to the donor car it should be pretty much a bolt in proposition.

Good luck with keeping her on the road.

Try posting in the Classifieds section; you may get more eyes on it there and be able to find a replacement engine. Best of luck!
