I have heard the same about the blocks and heads - will have to check the Mercedes EPC looking for a diagram.
It "may" be possible to use an OM605 head on a 602 block, but at a minimum the 605 pistons would also be needed, plus the intake manifold would be nice, plus the exhaust and turbo....
At some point, trying to import a complete engine actually becomes more economical.
This is an exciting idea - perhaps the likelihood of success is low, but the possibility still exists, and if the right opportunity presents itself, I'd like to be ready to strike.
