Yes you can still get these parts through them.

 

those are list prices for those specific motors as listed with any dealership, if youre serious PM me and we can go furter

 

if he really wants it, he can fly over with a mechanic and take a look at it to see if its worth it, he'll be saving a bundle

 

I am serious, but not for right now. I need a base car first, and then an engine transplant.

Maybe by that time there will be some wrecks from which to choose? We shall see!

Thanks so much, though. I posted this on FChat, but I got different prices, about twice as much, and supposedly he had a source in AMG.

Eh.

 

I'll have to look again but there was a high end junkyard on the east coast that had a few motors to choose from.

 

I think there is a wrecked S55 in the San Francisco craigslist, with the complete engine, wiring, and car for around 20-25k.

 

Hmmm, buy the car, take out the engine, sell the other crap on eBay. Not bad.

 

Looks like there's a 55 motor on car-part.com for $7500. The entire site doesn't have a 600 or 65 motor though.

 

Thanks, guys!

As I said, I can't buy until I get the car, but it seems there is a good market for S55 engines, especially used. Maybe my plans need tweaking!

Cheers!

 

I'd love to see my father's 190D '87 with such an engine in the bonnet...Would outrun anyone on the streets

 

link please..can't find it through the search.

 

shoot, just find a used or new Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6, same drivetrain and handbuilt amg engine as the slk32 AMG. $47k car new, low $20's used, only made in 2005. How do I know this? Just picked one up brand new for mid $20's. Bargain of the year, 0-60 under 5 sec.

 

one day i will build a 124 500 (my 1st car) w/ the 5.4K motor and 6 speed manual box
