I knew I'd get a lot of nice feedback here. Thanks. My wagon now seems way over powered It is a rocket. I have Alda off. It is nice for towing cars. But I dont need that as I have a truck. They sold w124 with a 4 cylinder.
Mercedes-Benz W124 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It be slow and I'd climb hills at 45 mph but I bet it would cruse at 70 or 75 fine. My old 79 Vw westfalia had a 4 cylinder and 4 speed tranny and we cruised across the country over the Rockies in it. It was about 70 hp too.
But I like the idea of bolting the transmission in with the six cylinder. Plus saves a lot of work. (i think)
I found a local 190d with 5 speed an no motor and I'm getting the whole car. I guess I have my summer project. I still like idea of getting a newer gasser w124 wagon transplanting it. But my time is limited.
