How much($) to rebuild the 4.2 l 400e motor

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i want to restore my old benz...its starting to get lazy in acceleration and not as quiet any more.

its a 92 400e with about 220 thou Km on it. The tranny is getting soft as well.

So what ya think,,, worth the time and trouble? And how much ?? for repairs.

also if i leave the car still for a few days when it starts up it is really

rough...running and sounding till the oil circulates through the block, then it

seems to calm down.

Hope you're sitting down...
