I'll look the junkyards and see if I can find one. I can look nearby where you are or I can see if I stumble across any nearby me and send it to you. At the moment I don't know of any swb w140's but I'll look again as I usually don't take notice of w140's. Thanks, Jack On Sat, Feb 26, 2022, 10:46

As some of yall may have seen there is an 87 300sdl in the Charlotte LKQ. I went last weekend to attempt to pull the head but I didnt manage to get it off, I think I missed a bolt or something. Either way, it has a 14 head and has a fresh radiator so I suspect it maybe cracked but I could be mistak
