I am looking for a M116 engine and trans. A 380SEL would be ideal. a
420SEL would be even better. (Gen II 126, more HP) I think I could
make the M117 from a 500SEL or a 560SEL work. The reason I am looking
for the long body is because I think I could take one of my spare OM603
engines and put in in an SEL to make a SDL so that I could scrap the
rustbucket SDL. Sorta kill 2 birds with one SEL. I think I can get a
SEL for !500 or so. Otherwise, I have to spend probably $1500 for an
M116, and probably that much again for a better SDL or 300D.
I liked this ol boy, Frank talking to him on the phone. If you go see
him, I think you might like him too. If he comes around on the SEL, ok,
and if not I'll find another, hopefully closer to South MS/AL/LA. My
guess is that i'll have to find another.
I am headed south Dec 20.
I think I will go N around March 1 to finish house projects and get it
up for sale. If all goes well, Mar 15 until the house sells or about
June 20, we'll be in the south again. #1 daughter getting married Jun 17.
Sometime around Jan 5 I need to see Manfred and pickup the BMW. FL
MiniQ.... Maybe we can get Gerry or go visit him. I hope he's ok.
His message about being "off" for a while concerns me.

He is a good ol boy. Ran what we'd call a meat locker. Sold it.
retired. Got started selling pigs for bbq. Now sells roasting pigs,
bbQ pork, and rents the BBQ rigs for the pigs. He's probably 70 or so.
