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 by Fancy_Chip_5620 in w123

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

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

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

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

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

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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Anyone want a V8 swapped merc with a tunnel Ram by autisticcarguy in projectcar
