why does he want a bod bender? Im on the lookout for another 140 myself and might take a chance on a rod bender, but the wife does not like diesels so its either going to be a 300SE, or a V8

Yeah, I was quoting prices based on dealer wholesale (Rusty) or
used... my numbers are probably optimistic. I didn't want to totally
scare poor Kleb like you probably just did, lol...

BTW, my BIL is seriously shopping for a 1992-95 S350 diesel (yes, the
rodbender). If anyone has a line on a cream puff, let me know. Strong
preference given to examples with a documented replacement engine,
although if it's original and uses zero oil and the price was right, I
think that would be OK too (then I'd make him proactively replace the
rods!)

Sorry Dave your not even close

These are wholesale prices:

ETA rebuilt - left $1300/right $1600. New the pair are 5k from the dealer.
ignition control modules new are $3800 each (L&R) $7600 for the pair from
the dealer
EA module is $2500
92 engine harness is $2300
93 harness is $1750 (thank you jesus my car used the 93 harness)

M119 motor is different that the M120 in it's configuration. We have a M119
in the 1991 500SL

remove timing chain cover to get to front rails. LOTS of stuff needs to come
off. Huge PITA. when I get the diesel done that's next on the list when the
ozone levels drop to something more normal.

bent rods in a 350 are a cake walk.

Jim
