WTB - engine for 78 450SL
I am considering buying a '78 450Sl that needs an engine - yup timing chain. Looking for an engine and cost. I am in Washington DC area so an estimate of shipping cost would be helpful. I can transfer the oil pan and exhaust manifolds so a sedan engine is OK. For the right engine at the right cost I can pick up (within a reasonable distance). You can e-mail me at lee.backus@dc.gov.

Thanks Paul - I sourced an engine about August of last year. I appreciate the offer but at the moment I have no room to store it. It was great meeting you on Saturday - if you find what you conside to be a competent body shop let me know. Old engine/trans is out and I need to get the 450SL body painted in order, then install replacement engine.
BTW, during daytime I am at 810 First St. NE - about two blocks from Union Station. Thanks again for the offer.

Good to know you found one. I know of a rebuilt engine in a W116 450SEL with less than 500 miles on. Not sure how extensive the rebuild was, but I know the timing chain snapped which forced the rebuild.

Now that's pretty tempting . . . all I have to is figure out what to do with the orginal engine and the replacement.

That's what the old engine IS at the moment. Wife would prefer it to be a boat anchor!
