I'm not sure how to do that, yet. That's the part that can be done with the engine still in the car? I've got a lift but don't yet have a hoist...

Also, if you put in a "US" 220D OM615, whats to say you can't put the Euro 200D manifolds on the US long block?

It has 616 manifolds like a 240D, actually:
I may end up opting to put in a 240D, at least temporarily to have a usable car. That would destroy the uniqueness of the car though. W123 200D's are actually not uncommon at all worldwide, but were never sold in the US and very few were imported since most would have opted for a larger engine.
