I don't know anything about this engine or the seller, but wasn't 
someone here looking for just such an engine to put in their SEC?  
Would this one work?  This is from another MB list:

Attached, To Ed Riefstahl and other Listers who love mid-eighties MB 
sedans:, 		Engine Available,  Car Attached, There is just not enough 
time to work on my project car,  a 1984 500SEL, Euro (126.037).  I 
bought it because of the condition of its, high-performance engine.  
The (gasoline, fuel injected,
high-compression) engine is smoother and more and powerful than the US, 
engines of the eighties -- just a delight to drive at any speed., 
However,  the four-way hydropneumatic suspension needs work,  as the, 
previous owner let the reservoir run dry.  I cleaned and refilled the, 
system,  and I replaced the five pressure spheres,  but it has 
leveling, valve issues that I haven't been able to resolve., With a 
refrigerant charge the air conditioner heated and cooled nicely, but it 
leaked down again while waiting for me to address the suspension, over 
the past year.  The body is all original except for a repainted, door.  
Before I bought it someone vandalized the turn signal and cruise, 
control levers,  but I have new MB turn and cruise switches ready to 
be, installed.  Oh,  and I stole the vacuum pump from the spare tire 
well for, my other MB,  thereby disabling the door locks until a 
replacement pump, is installed., As my fourth car  (and the second MB) 
in the driveway,  it has to go.  I, want $3K for the engine,  and you 
can take the rest of the car with it., Just start it and drive away 
(carefully, as the back end stays at max
height). while I cry about not having the time (and now the weather) 
to, work on it., 		Engine Available,  Car Attached, Roger in South
