yeah, i guess I can't really go wrong with a deisel. My parents old 300D couldn't be killed. Actually, i am thinking of dropping in a 2.3 8v engine from a 1988 190e. If the price is cheaper then rebuilding my current engine, I wouldn't mind getting a flywheel and pilot bearing so it would fit my 5 spd manual transmission.
