gonna sell my 500sl engine and auto box, it comes with all the wiring although some of it was cut when it was removed from the car i have all the elctronic boxes some of which wont be needed but it was easier to take em all than find out i didnt have one i needed, have the instrument pod as well for the V8 rev counter.

makes 240bhp so cheapo upgrade if your brave.

start at £100

Argh! I'm after one but funds are very low at the moment...
What's the condition of the engine and box? What's the mileage?

car had 87000 on the clock and looked like it had been looked after, rust had claimed the rear suspension mounts which is why the guy was breaking it, ran smooth and quiet and the box changed up and down fine, no obvious oil leaks or smoke from it.

can you get manual box's for these and do you know of anyone that works on these engines?

[popuptoaster]

there is a manual box that will fit these but i dunno which one it is, i think it was practical performance car (or one of those mags, i dunno i was only told about it) did a feature on alternative V8's and this was one of the featured ones, said it was very strong and would be easy to turbo, and there was a box from anther model that fitted it.

dunno anyone specifically who works on em, its a fairly simple engine even though its OHC, its all alloy so its light (for its size) and they will do 200 000 with no bother if looked after right. I'm only selling it cos i need some cash and some space!!

open to offers although if you want it delivered its £100 no offers plus diesel money.
