Looks pretty good
Nicely sealed and stuff It'd be good if someone needed a replacement ... but seriously, how often do these motors break so badly you need a new one? LOL I probably shouldn't say that seeing as mine has a habit of developing a problem every 2 weeks and it's about due ![]() Price for a reman. 606 is ~6500

Tempting, in a pie-in-the-sky ultimate-300SD-oil-leak-fix kind of way...
Seriously, wouldn't a turbo 606 W126 be great??

It's kinda useless except as a replacement engine. No engine ECM, no tranny or tranny ECM, no wiring harness, no flywheel, no fan, no accessories, and cut oil cooler lines.

I agree with Rob, I'd like to see a w126 with the 606 turbo.
Maybe put it in a bent-rod 350SDL with a 5spd from a 190D (would it fit?)... Now that'd be a fast w126!! ..or...... maybe not lol In any case it'd be one heck of a "Panzerbenz!!"

I was under the impression that the 606.962 bolts right up to the IP from a late 603 (slightly modified with larger elements) and will hook up to a 722.3 tranny. The fan & accessories are cheap - relatively to an engine swap project.
Check out Mauri H's old post here. There is a wealth of good information in this thread too.

I'm willing to bet the 606.962 will bolt right up to the 4spd auto of the w126, isn't that the same trans as in the '95 E300 Diesel (606.910)? I know my E300 has the 5spd auto and the 606.962 but the .962 shouldn't be that different from the .910.
What would make it even sweeter is a manual transmission, possibly a euro 5- or 6-spd? Over in europe i rode in an E300 DT taxi (w210, OM606), the driver had a stick and man it was fast! Not as quick as the E320 CDI (w211) with the stick we had the next day, but it could haul! Then again, when i think about it our drivers were redlining on every shift, no wonder they have black soot all over their bumpers, my E300 could go that fast if i pushed it that hard.
