Thinking about an Ebay car & deisel conversion
 
I've been toying with bidding on the linked car and putting an old relaible 617 engine. I would be interested in whether or not it would fit. Any thoughts?

Point of note.......If the car was built as a gas car, you may not be able to convert it to diesel. If it qualifies as an antique, then its a lot easier. But thats a serious answer, but in this case its not a serious question.

I am sure it will fit if you slam them together hard enough. Maybe drop the engine in from the top of a three story building.

Too late, guys!!!

I used "buy-it-now" and sniped it out from under you.

I'll use it as my Wednesday car. ;)

What would the point in buying that car to put an OM617 into it, it might gain a few MPH from the conversion, but not much more, plus I am sure the OM617 weighs more than the whole car :eek:

I did the payment calculator for it.

You would only need to come up with $20,500.00 per month for 72 months, putting down 10% of course.

That would buy quite a few parts for the SDL, that's for sure. :D

At that cost you could just have an entire new set of 300SD's and SDL's hand built for you. Handbuilt 617's and 603's installed too. :D

How true. Imagine the condition of both of these vehicles if I put one month of payments into them!

How much is it worth after you drive it off of the lot?
