E320 e420 engine swap will it work
I own a 1999 e320 that recently got into an acident. Body and frame are tost but the engine is still working, ive been looking into buying a new body and just doing an engine swap. I have found a 1997 e420 with a dead engine and tranny i want to know if the e320 engine will work and fit in e420 dody or am i just wasting my time???

Keep it Simple, want to save the motor out of your E320, them find another 99 e320 that needs a motor. Better yet, go find a good 97 420 motor and swap it into that body your thinking about. Once you've driven the 420, you won't want to go back to the 320 motor.
BTW, do you understand the 97's and 99's are not 124's?, Your in the wrong forum, try 210 sedans forum.
