Well I am about a week behind schedule, but I did finally get the new engine loaded on a truck and it is now headed for Dallas! By this time next week I should be cleaning and detailing the engine. The engine is from a seller in Sacramento who bought a complete but wrecked 2002 CL500. The car was totaled after only 11-12 months on the road per Carfax. So I am estimating the mileage at or under 15,000.

I want to thank our forum member Ravenous who was willing to check things out and make sure I wasn't getting cheated.

Here are some pictures of the engine. If you look close you will see that it looks just like our V6's but with two more cylinders.
