Odd request but I need a dead (a working one would be a waste as it's to be broken) V8, ideally a M117 or a later one will do. I can't pay mega money, hence not really after a nice one but will collect with cash and give you better than the scrap man :)

Guys I have a 560 sel engine, gearbox, loom and ecu's from a car I scraped long ago. My original intension was to swap this into a w124, but I seem to be sticking with improving the inline 6 so it needs to go.
