For those of you looking for one, there's a cheap 500SEL engine at Pick-a-part in Campbelfield. They are having a 1/2 price sale on engines this weekend which means you should be able to get this motor for about $200 or slightly less.
This was the 500SEL I was checking out in Dec/Jan but didn't buy, and the owner finally sent it to the wreckers... no on wanted to buy it because of the blown diff or trans.
BUT
While I was there in Dec I did put my battery in and the car started up within 2 cranks even though it had been sitting for 6 months, the engine is very healthy with no smoking whatsoever and the K-jet system is perfect.
