Anyone on the list interested in a nice 48,000 mile, 4 cylinder diesel
engine complete with all accessories, including automatic transmission?

I just bought the holdings of a Polish fellow who owned 26 Mig aircraft
with some 238,000 cubic feet of spare engines and component parts which he
bought at the fall of the USSR. When Russia stopped being USSR, his friends
and family called him up and said, "The airbase here is for sale".... so he
bought it... shipped it to USA, and has been selling off new engines and
like new Mig aircraft since then.. until he turned 84 and his wife and
family here said.. stop now.. he did.

As I worked through the layer upon layer of parts, I discovered a crate
with the engine and a load of other parts taken from the Mercedes, along
with the dash and speedo from what looks to be a very low mileage wreck,
which he gathered up while in Europe and shipped along with everything
else... The engine is Pristine clean, as the transmission, and gives every
indication it's hardly used.. The shipping docs I've found with the crate
are in Polish... so will need to translate them ASAP.

The gentleman was a WW2 veteran, fought the Nazis as a Polish resistance
fighter, wounded at 15, and a "very interesting fellow" to know.. Brilliant
yet a bit eccentric..

Just got the crate pulled out today, and the lid off.. will take some pics
ASAP if anyone is interested in owning the engine.

I also now have what looks like a completely refurbished head, with new
valves and cam.. precups, etc.. AND a used head, in "as removed condition"
.. no written history on either of them..... yet discovered...

Engine is still in the crate.. will need to pull serial numbers to
determine exactly for sure what it is.. "looks like that's a 240 engine" ..
"ok" ... "lets move it to the triage area" .. "done"... That's if so far..
