Yes I could part out the engine from a 1987 240 B230F (I believe) I want
the upper part ( cylinder with camshaft but probably don't require to
keep the bottom end - it works and is running now with about 190,000
klms on her (parting out due to subframe rot not any other reason) also
good running transmission (sorry it's a P R N D 1 2) a lot of you
enthusiasts enjoy the manuals eh! but even had a recent flush fill of
transmission fluid for those of you who don't like shifting gears
yourselves. The car is in my complex in Mississsuga Ontario Canada - I
have to work outside for the most part so think about it quickly as I
will not be hauling these things out in subzero temps outside

thanks,

Dan
