I've done enough epc cross referencing to make your head spin. It looks like I can use my 240d rear DS half and a front half of a w114 4 speed car, or a whole 114 4 speed DS possibly. The benzcat.com epc version is pretty close to the real thing. I had to get fonzi to look on real epc to determine if some of the w114 cars listed that cross were actually 4 speed or auto. t walgamuth, can you throw me a bone like you said you would? Or even a link to the thread you said the swap was well documented? I can't find it.
Here is my plan so we're not confused.
Om617 from an 84 300TDt(617.952).
The 4 speed and flywheel that is currently in the 240d w114.117 (716.002/716.003).
I guess I'll be sticking with the 3.69 that's in it at least for now.
Things I know.
Need to shorten shift linkages.
Need a different front half or full driveshaft
Need to address oil filter housing.
Things to consider.
Concerns on rad being up to it.
Ac compressor clearance with new style driver bottom mount may be tight. Will the old style fit on the .952?
Was the converter really balanced with the flexplate on the .952 crank.
(Just now remember this
crap)
Is the late .952 crank really not machined properly for a pilot bearing? I remember coming across this 8 years ago when I was planning the 4 speed into my first 300td.
