I am planning on swapping the engine in my 87 300TD with one with lower millage and better performance. Mine burns oil, has lack of power and is tired.

Need some advice. The MBZ manual presented removal of the engine with tranny as one unit. Taking a look at the engine, bell housing bolts are not very accesible.

Anyone have experiance in pulling the engine without the tranny? How difficult and any suggestions?

Henry
