I just got an engine fron a guy on ebay he thought it was from a 79 300D.
It is turbocharged and a 617 series engine. But before I order parts I need to know if it's a 912, 951, or a 952 engine. How do I tell the difference? Where do I find the numbers on this engine?

Thanks,
Kurt

Look on the block just below the head on the drivers side for a number starting with 617.

A 79 300D would not be a turbo. A 79 300SD would.

if it is turbocharged from a 79 car it can only be 617.950 if it is stock.
If the engines was in a 300D (and Not 300SD) anything goes...

Somewhere between 82 and 85. Depending on what parts you are buying, you may need to determine if it is a station wagon engine or an 85 California engine.
