I have a nice condition 91 300te wagon with the 4matic that I would like to convert to diesel.. the 4 matic system is not functioning, and I don't really feel like ponying up the 2k plus to fix, so I'm going to ditch the system and go with a 2wd diesel setup.

since there was a diesel version of this car, I'm on the hunt for a wrecked 124 chassis TD to use as a parts vehicle.

I'm also considering another chassis to use, as it seems most of the 124s are still in pretty good cond., and fetching a fair buck.

my questions are
A) which engines are recommended and compatible?
B) has anyone done this?


thanks for any and all info!
