If this thread means diesel engines, some might be interested in my mod's. When I installed a 1982 engine in my 1985 CA car, I kept the frame-mounted air filter, cutting the housing outlet 1.5" shorter to match the lower turbocharger inlet. I later did the same in my 1984 300D, using a junkyard air filter housing. No more fussing with cracked air filter brackets and more access for get hands to the R side of the engine. I stack 2 cheap Wix filters, rather than pay $45 for the "correct" air filter. Instead of the 1985CA "drain oil mist into turbo inlet" design, I run a tube from a Tee over to the drain tube which was under the air cleaner. I could run a hose straight down to the stub on the oil pan, but this was easier.
After this photo, I rerouted the H.P. AC hose and tubing directly to the condenser, as the factory might have. I also removed the nonfunctioning EGR valve and controls, using Rollguy's block-off plates, so now better access to the alternator bolts.
