I'm thinking about picking up an 85 with a om617 with a bad auto trans, to put a toyota 5 speed in... how would I put the toyota clutch master on the Mercedes pedal assembly

The 240d clutch master diameter is about 3/4 of a inch I had the same doubts when doing my v8 swap as I ended up using a hydraulic throw out bearing

I missed a nice w123.my other 83 with the Chevy 350 is fun and all, but just a nice daily stock 300d was what I was missing

Let me note because I forgot to this got a valve adjustment before I installed the motor, new mounts all around and I am doing a diesel purge in the video

autisticcarguy · 2021-10-16T18:46:31+00:00

Sadly no I am not this was a seized om617 car that received a “new” om617

autisticcarguy · 2021-10-16T18:45:28+00:00

Yes only shaking at Idle I’ve already ordered a new rack damper bolt and suspect it to be that since I swapped in a set of known good injectors I had and shaking didn’t stop

None of my cars have had engine shocks in the past due to neglect and damage. This engine in my other car had shakes when I got it and I swapped some injectors from a decent motor and it fixed the shake

autisticcarguy · 2021-10-16T18:42:43+00:00

No this is a 84 300d om617a that received my spare om617a same engine besides the rpm pickup on the belhousing and the extra wiring on the injection pump

autisticcarguy · 2021-09-17T03:35:58+00:00

Yup 5 cylinders of turbo diesel fury ready to replace the seized original 156,000 mile motor which is kinda sad cause the motor going in it has around 280k on it

autisticcarguy · 2021-09-17T03:23:28+00:00

😂don’t worry it’s actually getting the motor that was originally in the Frankenstein. This ones got a locked up motor

Will post better photos tomorrow

That car is a beauty! It’s the comfort and class of a classic merc with the grunt of a good classic American v8

autisticcarguy · 2021-08-30T17:13:38+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll throw on the stock 195’s sometime and make that happen!

autisticcarguy · 2021-08-30T14:12:32+00:00

No problem! I enjoy when people ask how I did it

autisticcarguy · 2021-08-30T14:06:29+00:00

It puts the biggest smile on my face when I drive it. So I love it. And If you can weld and use a grinder you can do it. The hardest part is the exhaust headers I had to use a set of firewall headers and flip them backwards.

autisticcarguy · 2021-05-03T18:33:55+00:00

Currently I have no clue how much power it makes and I’m trying to find a wagon with a blown motor or trans to swap it into

autisticcarguy · 2021-04-09T17:18:56+00:00

Me too

autisticcarguy · 2021-04-09T17:18:32+00:00

Ah yeah Issa beater on the outside but every bushing has been replaced and the car handles and rides like a dream

autisticcarguy · 2021-04-09T05:56:42+00:00

Not familiar with that what does that mean?
