73 MB 450SL Engine Issues
After a significant engine expense, I have no interest in spending more money on my engine.
The car cranks and almost never starts.
When it does start, it runs for les than a minute and dies again.
Gas was replaced and an additive added.
I want to keep the vehicle and am considering replacing the engine with a Chevy 327 Engine.
I've heard that this has been successfully done before.
Does anyone have any experience in installing this Chevy Engine?
TIA
Bob
