[W126 Coupe] 560 SEC cracked engine block

[FPecar4525 at aol.com]

For a reminder of what we have in these 560SECs, pick up a copy of  the 
October issue of Mercedes Enthusiast and read this article.  As they  put it, 
"At the top of its game when new and still impressing today, the  560SEC's 
understated excellence makes good examples still sought after".   Unless there 
was no other option and assuming that you have a "good example",  I'd think 
long and hard about putting a crate engine in one of  them.

My fellow Cpe lovers,
 
This has been an interesting conversation for sure.  You know, I  have a 
comparatively cheap American made old 350 Chevy engine in my 58  Corvette.  
It's just a thought but my 58 Vette doesn't seem to mind that  I have a 350 
and not a 283 in it and for sure nobody else gives a flip what I  have in it 
(it's clean, looks good and runs like a bat out of a cave).   Point is, I 
have no idea why we put up with engines and parts that cost a leg  and an arm 
when there are other options! Are there any shrinks out there that  can 
render an opinion?.
Smiling regards,
Ernie
