When I purchased my 83 300D nearly two years ago I got a spare om617 with the deal. I have no idea if the engine could run but it's missing some things (injectors, some glow plugs, fuel pump, etc.) so it would take some work and $$ just to try and run it. It is visually in VERY poor condition and I seriously doubt it would run well if at all just based on its appearance. Based on that plus the fact that I have a parts car with a good engine in the driveway means that I will not be trying to get this engine running. I need to get rid of this thing (it's in my driveway under a tarp) but before I just scrapped the whole thing I figured it may be worth pulling off stuff that I may need/want in the future for my 83 300D (or my dream project of swapping an OM617 into a Scout). I've attached some photos of the engine. Let me know what you think is worthwhile to keep and what should just be scrapped. Photos of the engine are below. Thanks for any input you can give.
