Jim, this is kind of directed at you, as I know you live in the Phoenix area. Anyone else though, is free to respond. I'm trying to make an action plan for getting the 240D on the road. I have a quote from Tri Star (which is making me ache) on an engine. - $950 for 160k. So I wanted to find out a trustworthy indie in the Phoenix area that you think might be willing to install the engine. Make sure it is a 75 or newer engine so that you get the ones with atmospheric pressure fuel correction ( ADA) the 74 and earlier did not have this and smoke was often excessive when higher elevations were traversed. What Chuck and Bob said, I have never had my 79 in the shop for repairs so couldn't recommend anyone. I DID think that Tristar had mechanics and am surprised they didn't offer to install the engine as well as sell it to you. Good luck, Jim Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 261 K miles 98 ML 320, 138 K miles
