I would like to find a 1995 E300D with a perfect body and interior but a lunched engine, then transplant a '98-99 OM606 turbo (less the electronics) into it. That would provide 170 HP instead of 130 and would retain the simplicity of the 124 chassis (compared to the 210) with minimum (meaning "none") smog stuff.

My existing 1995 E300D has a near-perfect body and interior but also has a near-perfect engine that I can't bring myself to throw away. I'll have to wait until something else comes along.
