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.
