The Oil Filter Housing has a different angle to one of them and the plate on the back side for the oil pressure reading and where the Turbo Oil line connect is different. they won`t swap between the two housings.

Thanks for this great write-up Charlie. I'm still not entirely clear on whether I can install a 952 in a 300SD. Is this possible with the swapping of the engine mount arms and oil filter housing? Or are you saying that a swap is not a straight forward install with the swapping of some parts?

Thanks.

Tom
