I Need an Engine, please help !!

[mercedes420]

In search of an engine real bad, for my 1987 Mercedes 420 SEL.. Due to a flood by Hurricane Wilma, the engine took in water and seized.. Let the car sit and it did start on the next day.. Now it makes a knocking noise, not that loud though.. Had a mechanic look at it, said it was the main bearing, and it would have to be rebuilt.. There talking like 4,000 dollars.. Looking for just an engine, the 4.2 liter.. I'll take out my old one and put the new one in.. If any one can help or knows of a reasonable engine shop in South Florida please let me know..


Thankyou...

Try here. I have been buying from these folks for years. If you call them they will also provide technical advice. LOL
